Outline with Transparent Objects

[GaMeOveR]

If you add outline FX on transparent objects, it is making nontransparent and it is changing color also.

Add a rectangle above the pixel layer, set its fill to transparent and set its stroke to whatever width and colour you want.

Why did you show a rectangle, which is vector shape, in your example file?

Does it matter really? I just focus annoying thing. There is piksel version.

How you can do that with like these image files?

Ah, you’re ‘shifting the goalposts’! It wasn’t clear from your original example that you wanted to be able to do this with irregular outlines.

I’m afraid it isn’t immediately obvious to me how you could work around the problem.

You can create a new non-transparent pixel layer in the same shape as your semi-transparent one, then apply the Outline to that and hide the fill

E.g.

Use the Flood Select Tool to select the shape
Create new pixel layer
Paint solid colour (e.g. black) to fill in pixel selection on the new pixel layer
(I also deselected then filled in the hole - not sure if you wanted that or not)
Add Outline FX to new layer and set fill Opacity to 0%

Designer file is also attached

Thanks but this doesn't fix issue. As you can see i need to select piksel perfect (which is really hard with like these images) for get same outline effect. Anyways it is same with photoshop you can close bug report.
