Thanks allot hacko, but seems it didn't work, now by making the outline white I managed to make the shape thinner its a temporary solution.

Kindest Regards

Try this one to alter it's contour ...

You have to scale it up afterwards, since I reduced it's overall size.

Ah Ok, I see. - Here is a traced (centerline) one which should do what you need or want!

Your question is simple so I made a simple demo - is this what you are trying to do? 🙂 I a monkeying around with colors just to show you what is fill and what is stroke.

Or are you trying to edit the lion as a path.

For a quick turnaround I used a tracer/vectorizer which supports centerline tracing, so you can only get a path out of a contour (thus a tool similar to autotrace, or the Inkscape centerline tracer etc.). - There are also free online services available which offer center line tracing, like this Raster-to-Vector converter here (which also supports centerline tracing). The result will be getting a single sized path line, instead of outlined curves.

Thank you very much for you all
