Ha, that's a good one.
Quote:If you do need to stroke a selection (because you do not want a path or for whatever reasons)
the best way to do it, is once you got your selection circle (for example) go to > Select > Border... and input the size of the thickness, border style (smooth) / OK, then just drop the color you want in from the FG or BG.
This circle was made with the Ellipse tool and a border of 53pixels, it's smooth
Okay, that looks nice. It seemed like there should be a way to do that, and there is.
Quote:Also if you don't want to do a "Border" you can use the line style...
When you stroke a selection be careful of the setting in the "Stroke selection dialogue"
On the "Line Style" select "Round"
This circle was Stroked with a line style -> round (the settings above) it's quite smooth, not perfect, but not bad
Thanks a lot, PixLab. I'm saving this post so that when I may try doing this again for some reason, I will have the information you provided handy.
