Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp Brush - No Hardedge - Solution

[Ofnuts <ofnuts gmx com>]

If you want a non-feathered edge use the Pencil and not the Paintbrush.

You solution is only valid f you paint near the edges of the selection,
it won't prevent the feathering for
brush strokes in the middle of the selection.

You can also remove the feathering on an existing selection using
Select>Sharpen.

You can ask Gimp to save your preferred settings: Edit>Preferences>Tool
ptions>Save tool options now
