Re: [Gimp-user] Brush sizes in GIMP

[Dwain Alford <rteest53 gmail com>]

my suggestion would be to rename or delete the current installation's Gimp
folder in home/library/application support/gimp/2.8, then shut down and
restart (cold boot) your computer and reinstall gimp. shut down and cold
boot your computer and start gimp. when the splash screen pops up, you will
be able to either read the components being started or see gibberish again.

hth,
