Brush Tools

* Brush tools are also referred as the Paint Tools in GIMP.
* These tools are grouped together and they are not only limited for image layers but also for the entire image.

- There are about 13 Brush Tools listed in the Toolbox and let us see one by one.
- Bucket Fill -> Fills an area with a colour or pattern.
- Blend -> Fills an area with a gradient.
- Pencil -> Paints hard-edged lines; that is, the pixels are not anti-aliased.
- Paintbrush -> Paints soft- or fuzzy-edged lines; that is, the pixels are anti-aliased and/or feathered.
- Eraser -> Erases pixels from a layer.
- Airbrush -> Paint tool with variable pressure.
- Ink -> Paint tool with variable pressure.

- Healing -> Heals image irregularities.
- Perspective Clone -> Clones from an image source after applying perspective transformation.
