Create a custom brush in GIMP

[@moonhope3638]

Super thank you. Been using gimp for years, and you showed simple straight forward stuff today.

I started at 7 a.m. to conquer a custom brush. Video after video by another maker - watching the same one over and over, step by step on a separate monitor when I am trying to create with Gimp on the monitor in front of me.... finally frustrated and I searched other custom GIMP brushes and I come across this one at 7:15 in the evening. Easy peasy lemon squeezy..... thank you SO MUCH FOR PUTTING THIS OUT THERE. I am subscriber and deleting the others!

Thanks for this! Needed a refresher on how to export brushes. Never would have thought of greyscale.

Just tried. What GIMP does is turn transparency white. So best practice is to make the image to be used as a brush shades of grey where black is opaque, crop tightly around the image to be used as a brush. Then finally to flip the image 180 deg both horizontally and vertically. Then export. I found this works well.

All business! Like it.

Btw do you know how to increase the size of your sliders? (I accidentally made mine really small and don't know how to turn it back.)

Great tutorial. I've already learned about exporting in grayscale, but I needed to confirm the RGB mode when exporting. But one thing I am curious about is a brush that has a gradient fade (is that the right term), like the smoke brushes. If that is a thing, how can it be accomplished?
