One problem with Gimp 2.8 is that the
top size of the brush is far too big. If you compile from scratch you
can change that. This needs to be mentioned in the Gimp developer
list. It's also possible to have UI to set that largest size of brush
so it's not too big. I've seen the code that needs added to do that.
This all needs to be better sorted out to make Gimp more ideal for
painting.These are simple changes that need to be in Gimp. Changing it
and compiling is too much trouble.

Oh well...we used to have logarithmic brush size control. Now, you have a 

linear space ranging from 0 to 1000.00 - if you have to control the brush size

using a 2 cm course MIDI pedal, it simply won' t do -out of the box -

But I think it could be controled using the dynamics curves:

create a new brush dynamics, map the input control to brush size there, and edit

its curve so that the maximum size (right) is at roughly 10% of the graphic height.
