Stroke rectangle equivalent in Affinity Photo (iPad)?


Recommended Posts

As far as I can remember, in Photoshop, stroke path creates a border selection around a selection. It’s not what I would use for a border.

In Photo, you can add a border to anything by using the fx (layer effects) Studio. Select Outline and put a solid line or gradient border.

I’m not sure that’s what you mean, or want?

@toltec I want to put a border around an image. Problem with me being a newbie in Affinity is that I don’t know how to go about doing this. I think I did put a rectangular layer effect using outline but it just put a solid rectangle on top of the image thus hiding it. Any suggestions would be more that welcome.

Select the image layer, click on the fx Studio and it does put a border around the image.

Like my bird image above with a contour fx border. But it could have been solid.

Add a rectangle, slightly larger than image. Unclip your canvas. Nest image layer in rectangle layer. Done.

I know I'm late to this thread, but I was struggling with the same thing this morning, and the answers here didn't help much.  Hopefully this will help someone else.  To create a simple transparent rectangle in Affinity Photo, do these 2 steps:

  1. Create a rectangle using the "Rectangle Tool".
    Affinity-photo-select-22Rectangle-Tool22
  2. With the rectangle drawn & selected, click "Fill" and then click the circle with the red line through it.

You'll end up with this:

Hopefully this helps,
