Princy Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 HI, I want to create an outline of people How do I do this? I have an old sepia photo, I would like to scan it into the computer and then get the edge outline of each person so that I can type the names of the person. I found the 'detect edges', but I ended up with a very dark page and hard to view the edges. Can anyone point me in the correct direction on how it's done, please?

EDITED: The tricky bit is getting the outline in the first place. You need to make a selection first and this might be difficult with an old sepia image. Using the Pen Tool would be more accurate, but it would certainly be quicker and easier to use the Selection Brush, Refine it, then just add an FX Outline. (As per Twolane's link below.) The part I don't really understand is outlining the figure so that you can add text!
