156 Painting and Drawing

You can also flip a path outline either horizontally or vertically. Use the Flip

Horizontally>Path or Flip Vertically>Path option from the Image menu,

respectively.

To create a selection from a path:

1. Select the Background or standard layer where you want to create the

selection.

2. On the Paths tab, select the path from which you want to create the

selection.

3. Click the Path to Selection button (or right-click the path entry).

4. In the dialog, set options for the selection:

The Feather value blurs the selection's edges by making edge pixels

semi-transparent.

Check Antialias to produce smooth edges by softening the color

transition between edge pixels and background pixels.

Select New Selection, Add to Selection, Subtract from Selection, or

Intersect with Selection to determine how the path-based selection

should interact with an existing selection, if any.

5. Click OK. The selection marquee appears on the target layer.

To draw (stroke) a path onto a bitmap layer:

1. Select the Background or standard layer where you want to add the bitmap.

2. Choose a brush tool (such as the Paintbrush or Picture Brush) and set

Color, Brush Tip, and other properties from the Context toolbar.

3. On the Paths tab, select the path you want to stroke. Make sure the path is

positioned where you want it.

4. Click the Stroke Path button.
