RodFl Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Hi, New user of Affinty products - very impressed. In PS is was possible to select an area using the marquee tool then in the edit menu there as an item called 'stroke'. You could define a line width and colour and the line would be automatically drawn on or in or outside of the marquee. This was very usefull, does Affinity Photo have an equivalent tool? I can't find it. Thanks for any help. Rod Edited July 24, 2021 by RodFl Quote
Old Bruce Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 Hi and welcome to the forums @RodFl, To my knowledge there is no equivalent in Photo, but someone will probably chime in to prove me wrong. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
h_d Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 Closest I can suggest is to choose Outline... from the Select menu, set the width and alignment in the dialog box, confirm and then fill the resulting selection.

walt.farrell Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 A Rectangle (as opposed to a Rectangular Marquee Selection) with a Stroke and no Fill may work.

RodFl Posted July 25, 2021 Author Posted July 25, 2021 Hi and many thanks for your responses. Walt, the rectangle with no fill worked fine. Not as quick as the PS version but just as versatile. Have a good weekend. walt.farrell 1 Quote
