Painting and Drawing 155

To create a path outline from a QuickShape/outline or selection:

1. Select a QuickShape or Outline tool, then ensure Paths is selected on

the Context toolbar. (For details on using these tools, see Drawing and

editing lines and shapes on p. 145).

2. Drag across the page to create your path.

3. To create a path outline whose shape matches any selection area, first create

the selection on a layer.

4. Click Selection to Path on the Paths tab.

5. In the dialog, choose a Smoothness setting (to even out jagged selections)

and click OK. The new path outline appears on a new path with a default

name (which you can change, as described below).

To duplicate the selected path and its outline:

Right-click its name and choose Duplicate Path.

To delete the selected path:

Click the Path tab's Delete Path button.

To rename the selected path:

1. Double-click its name Rename Path....

2. In the dialog, type a new name for the path.

To edit a path outline:

Use the Node Edit Tool to modify a path's shape by moving nodes or

adjust outline curves by moving node handles.

Use the Shape Edit Tool to move, resize, reshape, rotate, and skew the path

by dragging the displayed bounding box handles in any direction.

For both methods, see Creating and editing outline shapes on p. 149 for more

details.
