[Will there ever be a bigger brush?]

It would have to wait until a 4.0.6 release

 

Fine with me.  If this actually gets in, I'd be so happy.

Really? What kind of stuff are you doing where 500px is limiting?

 

There's no real technical limitation here, other than some memory usage. 500 just seemed like a reasonable upper bound. It's as easy for me to change as hitting backspace a few times and typing in a new number.

 

It's that easy?  I know this is a lot to ask, but do you think you could compile a 4.0.5 build where the max brush size is something like 5000?  And to answer your question, I make a ton of 4K wallpapers.  I like to use the brush on 0% hardness to make big, sweeping adjustments, mostly.  Also, I have 16 gigs of RAM.

Why is there a 500 pixel limit on brush size?  Sometimes I have to switch to Photoshop to use the brush there since its brushes go up into the thousands of pixels.  500 pixels is pretty limiting, and if there is any hack so that I can have a bigger brush, I'd love to know about it.
