MilitaryRaiden Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 How can one create a border - either in a straight line or in a dashed line - like the one you can create with the “stroke” function in photoshop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toltec Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 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?

MilitaryRaiden Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 @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.

toltec Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 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. Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERFLAT Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Actually, when you draw any vector shape, it will automatically be stroked with the brush that you’re using. So you can adjust the width in your brush setting and choose the right color, and draw any shape using that brush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

themightymo Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 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: Create a rectangle using the "Rectangle Tool". 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, Toby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
