Enter the size you want to use for your circle border. That's it! (I know that's not what it says, but that's what it means.) The smaller the distance between mouse clicks, the more closely you will be able to select just the parts of the image you want. Start the GIMP and open the image, here I'm using GIMP 2.6.11. Notice how the text is a bit hard to read on that background.

Viewed 2k times 1 If I select a specific area, I want to increase that selection by one pixel in all directions. Menu>Filters>Generic>Erode (maybe twice) Select colour area in new layer. Specify the width of the border and choose the units. Gimp gives the same result if one selects Feathered in the Select>Border dialog, but gimp does give two other choices of Soft and Hard which would be nice in photoshop as well.

If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a PM. This filter rounds the corners of an image, optionally adding a drop-shadow and a background layer. X size (left an right) and Y size (top and bottom) may be different. Here are the THREE easy steps to cutting out a border using GIMP Tool: 1. How do you cut and outline in gimp? Right click on the text box and select 'Path from Text'. Per the GIMP documentation Edit > Stroke Selection: The Stroke Selection command strokes a selection in the image. Add a new layer and type your text: I used the the "Circle Text" effect to type the word CURVED. What ways are there to accomplish it? Make 2 copies (If no white in your selection is to be kept, do only 2) 1 (layer below copy 2) paste in white. The edge of the current selection is used as a form and the new selection is then created around it. So far it is working as it should: It first creates a secondary layer for the border, then it resizes it to fit the canvas, then it selects the outline of the active layer (Alpha to Selection in "normal" GIMP), borders it, removes the outline of the active layer to preserve pixels on the layer, then it grows the border by 1, sharpens it and fills it.

There are two ways you can stroke the selection, either by using a paint tool or without using one. Playing around with the spacing options in the brush selection dialog, the color or using one of the animated brushes you can get very interesting results. Step 1: Launch GIMP and open the image in it that you want to crop. When i used it there was a very thin border of white pixels around the outline of the church and its steeples etc.
