How do you save a direct image to turn it into a brush for gimp? I like your compass rose but I have no idea how to turn it into a brush for my map. Thxs in advanced .

Thanks NL I am not sure how but Lithia describes below how she does it.

I'm not sure how others do it, but when I want to make a brush in GIMP I select the item I wish to make into a brush, and then ctrl-c to copy it, then in the edit menu go to Paste As... --> New Brush and voila!

Thanks for the explanation Lithia
I was hoping someone who knows GIMP would pop in and have an answer.

Another options is there is a brush called clipboard, which lets you copy anything (including areas with transparency) and then use it as a brush for pretty much any of the tools. (Ditto for patterns for fills).
