9. Spremenljiva velikost čopiča

Od GIMP-2.4 naprej imajo vsi čopiči spremenljivo velikost.

9.1. Kako spremenimo višino čopiča

Velikost čopiča lahko spreminjate na tri načine:

  1. Using the Scale slider of the tool that uses the brush. Pencil, Paintbrush, Eraser, Airbrush, Clone, Heal, Perspective Clone, Blur/Sharpen and Dodge/Burn tools have a slider to vary brush size.
