GIMP Brushes, how to use them question.

[buttner-jenkins]

Claudya, left a msg on my blog asking the following question:

"How can you apply the brushes using the proper tool? Or like some kind of mask?"

Yes, I seem to use them a lot just using them via the Brush tool. However I also recently discovered that you can achieve some cool results if applied when using Stroke. ie having used the Eliptical tool to create a circle with marching ants, then apply Stoke using say circle brush. The end result is dotted circles in a circle shape, very cool!
For part 2 of your question, if a .png element was saved as an .abr in the brush folder (and of high resolution), then it could be used as a mask I think. Does anyone else know? Or any other ideas on how to use a brush? Post it here please.

hugz, Mo
