Applying an outline to a TIFF image

[ARM]

I normally add a thin 'keyline' or 'outline' to my digital images before presenting them. This works fine for JPG images but fails on TIFF images:

If I have done any adjustments, such 'inpainting', to a TIFF image, when I come to add an outline to the TIFF image the outline goes around the area I have inpainted, as well as the outside of the entire image. Therefore I have to save the image as JPG, then open  the JPG version and add the outline as separate steps in my workflow. Is this a bug?

Hey ARM,

How are you appling the outline? Are you using the FX button on the Layers Panel? 

Rasterising the TIFF should work as opposed to exporting, importing and then applying the outline.

Thanks Chris B, I'll try rasterising. Yes I use the FX button to the right of the Layers button in the panel on the right, select Internal, then usually black or white line and choose typically 2px width for the outline. Thank you, I overlooked rasterising!

Is there some issue specific to TIFF, Chris? I wouldn't expect to see a difference between JPG and TIFF files with the same processing steps done to both.

Not that I know of.

@ARM it might be worth attatching the .afphoto file so we can poke it.
