What exactly is GPS?

GPS is a collection of brushes and accompanying tool presets intended to speed up repetitive tasks by avoiding the need to manually reset tool options after each change. Tool presets are a simply saved tool options, a seldom discussed but highly useful feature of the GIMP.

Main Goal

The goal of GPS is to provide an adequate working environment for graphic designers and artists to begin to paint and feel comfortable with GIMP from their first use. Later the user will change these settings based on his own workflow preferences and understanding of GIMP.

GIMP comes with a default set of brushes that, while limited in scope, are very representative of the available brush types: ordinary, color, image pipes and parametric. GIMP's online Help documents provide detailed descriptions of all brush types. Unfortunately, the default set of brushes is hardly sufficient for advanced users needs.

Additionally, concept artists and CG illustrators will tell you that good brushes alone do not make the artist but only facilitate and accelerate the creation of images. Ramon Miranda created this set of tool presets and brushes for the illustrator who knows how to paint but is not familiar enough with GIMP to make proper use of its tools. The combined brushes and presets can be used for many different tasks, including:

GPS is only a starting point for presets and brushes and is intended to highlight the expansive flexibility of GIMP. It is also intended as a way to learn from and share with each other within the GIMP community. That is why GPS comes with the Creative Commons license.
