Most of Gimp's tools can be adjusted. You can adjust the density of a brush stroke, the pressure of the airbrush, the tolerance of the contiguous selection tool, and so on. To allow you to make these adjustments, Gimp offers the Tool Options part of the main window, which shows the possibilities for each tool. The Tool Options window is a generic window that controls which ever tool you have selected.

To display the Tool Options, simply click on the palette icon for the tool you want to adjust. When you do, the Tool Options will display beneath the main palette area. Shown on the main palette are the tool options for the brush tool.

It is beyond the scope of these help pages to go into detail about each adjustment you can make to each tool. It should suffice to say that Gimp has numerous settings with which you can do the most detailed image manipulations.
