Auto fit brush to image?

The target image or the image used as a brush? if the former, you are using a single brush stroke in the whole image (then why a brush?), if the later, there is a reset button in the Tool options to reset the brush to its native size (and if you switch the brush,  the size is reset to the native size of the new brush).

The target image. The reason for using a brush/single stroke is that these things are already brushes. See here for their website: https://www.deviantart.com/redheadstock/...s-65840762

Quote:Not very hard to make a script that makes an appropriately centered grid that matches the current brush size... (which IMHO is more practical than guides, because you would have to remove all existing guides each time you change a brush and these do have other purposes). For extra credit: should the grid be aligned with the image or with the active layer?

It might be easier to show what I'm currently doing by posting screenshots:
1. Load some base image, could be any size but I'd usually make them sqaure or nearst power of 2 for typical game requirements:


2. Choose the desired grunge brush. Note it's 1000x1000. Some base images will be a lot bigger or smaller, so resizing them to match the brush isn't always ideal.

3. Resize the brush to match the image size, and add guides:


4. Paint. Sometimes multiple clicks/strokes to get more boldness (or edit layer colours/alpha afterwards):
