MyPaint is a free painting program that comes with a lot of specific brushes. Libmypaint has been modified in 2016 in a form that can be used by other programs. GIMP-2.10 can use these brushes.
You can find many collections of MyPaint brushes throughout the Web, in a compressed format, often in a .zip file. Unzip this file into a temp folder.
First go to Preferences → Folders → MyPaint Brushes. There, you will find the path to your personal Mypaint folder.
Under Linux: /home/YourUserName/.mypaint/brushes. Take good note it is a hidden directory.
Open your file browser. Check the option “Show hidden files”. Go to your personal MyPaint folder. If it does not exist yet, you have to create it, with the brushes directory inside.
Copy-paste all the unzipped files from your temp folder to home/YourUserName/.mypaint/brushes.
Under Windows 10 (and GIMP 2.10): ~.mypaintbrushes. Click on this item to select it and click on the icon that opens a file browser. In the root of your home folder, create a new folder'mypaint'. The MyPaint path in Preferences becomes C:Usersyour-user-namemypaint.
Copy-paste all the unzipped files from your temp folder to C:Usersyour-user-namemypaint.
Activate the tool as below: you should have got a MyPaint brush icon in the tool options dialog. Click on this icon to display all MyPaint brushes.
There are different possibilities to activate the tool:
From the image-menu: Tools → Paint Tools → MyPaint Brush,
The Tool can also be called by clicking the tool icon:
or by clicking on the Y keyboard shortcut.
Figure 14.78. MyPaint Brush Tool Options
The available tool options can be accessed by double clicking the Mypaint brush tool icon.
Options may act somewhat differently according to the MyPaint brush you use.
To set the opacity of the brush (0.0 - 100.0). Opacity depends on a base: please see below.
If this option is checked, strokes are smoother. Two options are available:
The icon of the active brush is displayed. If you click on it, the MyPaint brushes list is displayed and you can select another brush
Figure 14.79. A collection of MyPaint brushes
In the bottom bar of the dialog, you have buttons for smaller or larger icons, and view as list or as grid.
If this option is checked, the brush acts as an eraser. As for the Eraser tool, erased areas are transparent if there is an alpha layer, have the background color if there is no alpha layer.
To set the radius of the brush.
These values (0.00 - 2.00) are multiplying factors: if, for example, you set this option to 0.50, the maximal opacity becomes 100 * 0.50 = 50, although it is still 100.0 in the Opacity option.
Figure 14.80. Base opacity example
Base opacity can exceed 1.00 up to 2.00. Of course, opacity can not exceed 100. In the example, you can see that an opacity option above 50 (100 * 2.00 = 200) is actually an opacity at 100, and 25 * 200 = 50 is equivalent to 50 * 1.00 = 50. But this possibility is useful when your Mypaint brush has a default opacity less than 100.
The harder the brush the sharper the brush. When you reduce hardness, the Mypaint brush may not act if the the brush size is too small.
Figure 14.81. Hardness example
This MyPaint brush doesn't act when hardness is less than 0.70.

| Initial release | March 12, 2005; 15 years ago[4][5] |
| Stable release | 2.0.0 / February 16, 2020; 27 days ago[6] |

| Written in | C, C++ and Python (GTK) |
| Operating system | Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD |

MyPaint is a free and open-sourceraster graphics editor for digital painters with a focus on painting rather than image manipulation or post processing. MyPaint is available for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Unix-likeoperating systems.[9] It is in some ways similar to Corel Painter.[10][11]
History[edit]
MyPaint versions up to 1.00 and bug/issue tracking were hosted by Gna!.[12]
MyPaint uses graphical control elements from GTK and, since 1.2.0, uses GTK 3.[13]
In 2020 MyPaint 2.0.0 release succeeds MyPaint 1.2, released back in 2017, and brings a stack of new features and improved tools with it. [14]
Features[edit]
Among MyPaint's capabilities are:
- Pressure-sensitive graphics tablet support
- Dynamic brush library, standalone for integration into third-party applications
- Layer management
- Simple interface
- Gamut masking color wheel
- 'Unlimited' canvas not requiring predetermination of image size
- Symmetry Modes
- Python 3 support
- Integrated bug reporting
- Supports graphics tablets made by Wacom, and similar devices
libmypaint[edit]

| Developer(s) | libmypaint Contributors |
| Initial release | November 23, 2008; 11 years ago[15] |
| Stable release | 1.5.0 / February 11, 2020; 32 days ago[16] |
| Repository | github.com/mypaint/libmypaint |
| Written in | C |
| Operating system | Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD |
| Type | Brush library |
| License | ISC license[17] |
| Website | mypaint.org |
MyPaint has a custom procedural brush engine optimized for use with pressure-sensitive graphics tablets. In later MyPaint versions, the engine was broken out into the separately maintained libmypaintlibrary to make it easier to integrate into other applications.[18]
MyPaint's brush library is available as a Krita plugin, and also GIMP has support for MyPaint brushes by default.[19]
Media attention[edit]
MyPaint was used by David Revoy, the art director of Sintel (the third computer-animated film by the Blender Foundation).[20]
Native file format[edit]
The AdobePSD file format changed its license in 2006, and it is now only permitted to develop applications using it in order to interact with Adobe software.[21] As a result, a comprehensive graphics design format, OpenRaster, was developed based on the Open Document format. MyPaint uses Open Raster as its default format, but also supports saving images to PNG or JPEG.[22]
