Outline of a shape

[Lucasuk]

Hi All

Is there way to take an outline of a shape then copy that so you just have the outline?

So example would be if you had a solid square, and you take a outline of that so you just have shape of the square. Hope that makes sense.

Please post a typical example.

A solid square for example is selected using either color select or fuzzy select but it is rarely as simple as that.

I cant seem to post up the shape i am using as the forum is telling me its to large.

But its the shape of a country which is solid black. I would an outline of that country shape. Hope that makes sense.

Like I said very rarely that simple but.

Choose the color select tool
Click inside the shape to create a selection.
Go to a new empty layer
Use Edit -> Stroke Selection with a suitable line width.
