Michael Warren Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Camera club photographers who prepare images for projection often want to be able to easily create a key line border, which can be sized, positioned and coloured. This is particularly important with low key or high key images. Similarly, printers often want to put key lines around their print a few pixels outside the image to add to the presentation, before mounting. In photoshop this is easy "select all, stroke in edit menu - enables line width, colour and position relative to image perimeter", but is much more complicated in Affinity Photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silversnapper Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Actually, it is very simple in AP2. At the base of the panel containing the layers, to the right of the Adjustment icon is the Layer Effects icon, shown as FX with lines above and below. Click on this and this panel appears: Make sure the outline option is selected and ticked, as shown. Choose your colour, mid grey in the example, (suggest from a greyness scale unless you want a colour) and your keyline thickness in pixels. I always select 'Inside' as the alignment. The beauty in doing it this way is that the Layer Effects stays within the layer, so can adjusted 'live'. You can return to it at any time to readjust any parameter.
