I spend a lot of time using Brush type tools in the GIMP.  When I
discovered that brushes can be resized "on the fly" via mouse + keyboard
commands, my workflow changed radically - more speed, more precision,
less stress.  Changing brush hardness the same way completes the picture
of a happier me.

A GIMP VBR variable brush scales with "perfect" resolution and has
adjustable hardness because it is a vector, not a bitmap.  The VBR
brushes available in the basic set included with the GIMP did not suit
me, so I made a few of my own:  A circle, four ellipses with different
orientations, a square and a diamond.  Making them with the GIMP brush
editor is trivially easy, but here they are for e-z download and
installation.
