Check in your GIMP preferences and see if two or more brush folders are listed there. If so, the path on your hard drive will also be shown. Just follow the path(s) to those folders. Also, check and see if you have multiple gradient/pattern folders as well.

You can't delete it from GIMP. You have to do it in something like Windows Explorer.

I am completely new to this, so what kind of program did you use? Did you use the 2.2 version? Because I have it. And since I'm new to this, could you show me the images of the process?

Hello Lone Wolf . Try Flattening your image (Image>Flatten) than saveing it as a .gbr. If that doesn't work try Flattening and save it as a .gih file.

I created a really nice brush, but I couldn't save it, thanks to you I was able to, thanks a million.
Very nice Tut

I used version 2.2.8. I'll see about adding some screenshots later, but it might be awhile. You can certainly send me a PM with any questions you have and I'll answer them as soon as I can.

Glad you got it to work, Disturbed!

I added the part about flattening the image to my tutorial steps. The reason you couldn't do it was because I failed to tell you to convert it to a grayscale image prior to saving. I added that step, as well. Sorry 'bout that.

[Goldey]

i have a lot of questions, would you lioke thrn all at once, or separete?

[Goldey]

Sorry I'm new to Gimp and this site.

Hi, Goldey. Welcome to the boards.

An RGB image-stands for Red/Green/Blue. This means that your work will be done in color versus grayscale, where everything is done in black/white/shades of gray.
Transparent in this case means it will have a transparent background.

So, to accomplish this task, open up GIMP and select File | New.

Then, a new window will open up letting you select the dimensions and other things. This is where you will get to specify RGB and transparent. Under "Colorspace" select RGB color and under "Fill Color" choose transparent.

Filters | Render | Nature | Flame is my way of showing you a menu dropdown list. When the new RGB/transparent image opens, there will be a series of menus across the top. One of them will be be Filters. This is where a lot of GIMP-magic takes place. You'll soon discover that a lot of your time will be spent here. If you open the menu, you'll see another sub-menu called Render. Then another called Nature which will lead you to the Flames tool. This is a great tool! That, my friend, is where you'll find the Render/Camera tabs.

Just a suggestion, but maybe you'll want to work on some of the more basic tasks in GIMP before undertaking this one. Although it's not very hard to complete, your knowledge of GIMP at this point may end up leaving you more frustrated than a feeling of accomplishment....not trying to discourage you, in fact, I'd rather leave you as a happy customer than a frustrated one.

Hope this helps. Feel free to post any questions to the boards and we'll respond as quickly as possible.

[Ricky]

Im doing this right now, however I knew how to make brushes before. :w:

[llitefoot]

i dont see my brush when i want to use it. it should be in the selection of brushes right? i've tried both gbr and gih and the gih says i need an alpha channel? sorry for asking more questions and problems. :s:

i hope u can help

[BR7]

gih is for animated brushes But it should be in your brushes if you saved it right after you made it and remember to restart gimp when you insatll new brushes or hit refresh you may have to look over the tutorial again if that dont work :h:

[llitefoot]

ooo for animated... hmm.... ok thank you

yeah i think i got the hang of it and nice tutorial, thank you for sharing! :l:
