The mouse wheel is used for zoom, by default, but GIMP has plenty of other zoom shortcut options already. Of course, you can adjust this shortcut to anything you want if the mouse wheel doesn’t work for you, but you might need to remap an existing command to an unused key combination. Spin your mouse wheel in the desired direction, and click Save. Click the middle Shortcut column for the command you want to change, and GIMP will wait to register your next keypress or mouse click as the new shortcut. Search for ‘size’ and scroll to find the appropriate settings. If you’re using GIMP on a Mac, you’ll need to look in the GIMP application menu to find the link. To view and customize your shortcuts, open the Edit menu and select Keyboard Shortcuts. Each brush-based tool shares the same customization options, so it’s easy enough to learn all the panel settings for brush size, although I strongly suggest that you try to use keyboard shortcuts whenever possible. To get complete control over your brush size, you’ll need to take a look at the brush settings for your currently selected tool. Creating custom brush presets in the sizes you use most can give you a nice speed boost while editing, and keyboard shortcuts can adapt to fit your editing style. To change brush size more rapidly, hold down the Shift key while pressing either square bracket and the adjustment rate will multiply by 10.īut like most things in the image editing world, there are actually a few different pathways to achieve the same end result. In GIMP, the simplest way to change brush size is using the keyboard shortcuts to increase and decrease your brush size gradually.
The most basic control of all is the size of your brush, and adjusting your brush should happen without stopping to think about it. Most of the important retouching effects in GIMP are applied using brushes, so becoming an expert in brush control is essential for any good image editor.
