Bitmap > Colour > Mark Edge

Use this menu option to paint a line around the edge of any colour on a bitmap layer. Marking the outline of a colour on a bitmap layer in this way means that its shape is preserved when converted into vector artwork or three-dimensional shapes.

To mark the edges of a particular colour:

  1. In the Project Tree, select the bitmap layer on which you want to mark edges.
  2. Set the primary and secondary colours.
  3. Use either of the following methods to paint a line in the secondary colour around all regions of the selected bitmap layer made up of the primary colour:
    • Select Bitmaps > Colour > Mark Edge.
    • Right-click in the immediate area surrounding the Palette to display its context-menu, and then select Mark Edge.
