I’m going to create a short tutorial on creating artistic brushes,
including a few extra tips in the Tutorial Section for other Users too.
It will take yet some time. I’ll let you know when it’s ready.

Looks like the crop tool keeps the image centered. I will try to find a solution for this
An other way to crop is to convert to curves and use the Node tool to edit the path of the image.
@nocturnalYL If youn have a HDR display, try the 16-Bit/Component mode in the View -> Display Options -> Color -> Precision field.
EDIT: but it does not support HDR rendering (the color domains are different in HDR).
