Question

define drawing tools in gimp​

Answer 1

Answer:

The feature they all have in common is that all of them are used by moving the pointer across the image display, creating brush-strokes. Four of them

the Pencil,

the Paintbrush,

the Airbrush and

the Ink tool

and MyPaint brushes, a new feature in Gimp-2.10.6,

behave like the intuitive notion of “painting” with a brush. Pencil, Paintbrush, and Airbrush are called “basic painting tools” or brush tools.

The other tools use a brush to modify an image in some way rather than paint on it:

the Bucket Fill fills with color or pattern;

the Gradient fills with gradients;

the Eraser erases;

the Clone tool copies from a pattern, or image;

the Perspective Clone tool copies into a changed perspective;

the Heal tool corrects small defects;

the Convolve tool blurs or sharpens;

the Smudge tool smears;

and the Dodge/Burn tool lightens or darkens.

The advantages of using GIMP with a tablet instead of a mouse probably show up more clearly for brush tools than anywhere else: the gain in fine control is invaluable. These tools also have special “Pressure sensitivity” options that are only usable with a tablet.

In addition to the more common “hands-on” method, it is possible to apply paint tools in an automated way, by creating a selection or path and then “stroking” it. You can choose to stroke with any of the paint tools, including nonstandard ones such as the Eraser, Smudge tool, etc., and any options you set for the tool will be applied. See the section on Stroking for more information.
