[Gimp-user] brush effective area

[TerryEA <forums gimpusers com>]

These are multiple suggestions.
1. The brush and tool cursors could use indications for the main affected area
and also the general maximum affected area. EXAMPLE: on a blurred brush; a white
ring for main paint area and a red ring for the max feathered area.
2. when using the selection marquee, show (as above) the minimum and maximum
affected area. Also whether the feathering is being done inside the marquee
line, shared on the marquee line, or outside the marquee line.
  Also, the color select could use a "select similar" other than threshold.

3. Some of the tools have very weak affects. EXAMPLE-1: clone barely paints area
and takes a lot of passes to cover properly. Also, the aligning for the tool
doesn't follow well.
EXAMPLE-2: Blur tool is very weak at blending, and should be functional thru the
mode list.
