What kind of Gimp software do you have? like, 2.3, 2.6, etc. I have 2.6.

[monsoonami]

@xCrimsonWorld I have 2.6 also, though I've customized my interface a little bit, so that's why it may look different from yours.

How did you set cam studio to follow the mouse?

[monsoonami]

@pyradragon "Enable Autopan" in the Options menu.

i dont have windows i have like ubunti or something so i have no clue where gimp is

[monsoonami]

@WolfTamerman In Ubuntu I think the brushes folder location is pretty similar, just you start in your Home folder instead of your user folder. Also, the .gimp-2.6 folder might be hidden by default, so you may need to press Ctrl+H (I think).

You can always open GIMP, go to Edit->Preferences, click on the "+" next to "Folders" in the list on the left, and click on the "Brushes" item below that. Then the area on the right will show you which folders GIMP looks for your brushes.

Finally, someone showing how to actually make a brush! I'm sick of tutorials that are just people downloading other peoples brushes. Thankyou very much for this great tutorial :).

I never knew how to smooth the edges out using levels, that is definitely something that I'll be using a lot.

Thanks. :3
