GIMP circle brushes provides circle brushes for use as "rubber stamps" in the GIMP.
GIMP circle brushes can be used with one click instead of creating outline circles by making a circle, filling with black, shrinking, and filling with white.
The following pixel sizes are provided: 6, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 100, 140, 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600.
Circle brushes are my third brush collection for use in the GIMP.
It was 'brush week' for me.
Making circles is a bit of a pain with the GIMP. I know the Make a circular selection,
fill it black, shrink it, fill it white thingy -- but come on already... if I can 'rubber stamp' a
premade circle brush where I need it instead, wouldn't that be kinda nice?
These were fairly easy, in theory. I had to add a bit of extra feathering to the above technique to get nice circles in all the sizes. Also several 45-degree rotations which smoothed out a lot of upper-end noise.
I also tried exporing from Inkscape, but the paths I converted to bitmaps did not work out as well as I had hoped and wound up sticking with the GIMP to create all
of them.
Sizes I made are:
6,12,15,20,24,30,40,50,60,80,100,140,200,300,400,500 and 600.
Use them for anything you'd like. If you redistribute them, please include this file.
I post these, and perhaps make updates, at gimphelp.org. All the items will also be included (in png format) at wpclipart.com, the Public Domain clipart site.
Installation:
Stick them in the GIMP brushes folder and either "refresh brushes" or restart the GIMP. I put them in the system-wide folder, on my Slackware machine this folder is located at: /usr/share/gimp/2.0/brushes
You should also have a local brushes folder at: ~/.gimp-2.x/brushes
Requirements:
