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.

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.

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.

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.

Affinity Photo 2.6.3,  Affinity Designer 2.6.3 Affinity Publisher 2.6.3, Mac OSX 15.5, 2018 MacBook Pro 15" Intel.

A Rectangle (as opposed to a Rectangular Marquee Selection) with a Stroke and no Fill may work.
