Outline of a shape - Lucasuk - 12-08-2022
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.

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.
