Re: [Gimp-user] stroke selection not antialiased

Well now that really makes sense -- that might be a good wiki addition. So I believe that this tool is working both as designed and as expected -- antialias does do its job when you fill a selection though. :) And basically it can't do it's job as a rule when you stroke a selection. On Tue, Oct 28

So why not convert your selection to a path then stroke the path? This is a good work around, and even in my mind now, this makes sense. The stroked path is antialiased. Nathan On Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 2:04 AM, Sven Neumann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > On Sun, 2008-10-26 at 18:14 -0400, Er

[Gimp-user] stroke selection not antialiased

2008-10-26 Thread Ernie Wright
I don't get *any* antialiasing when I stroke elliptical selections. Antialiasing is checked in the tool attributes of the Ellipse Select tool. It's also checked in the Choose Stroke Style dialog. Fills antialias just fine. I also get an antialiased line if I convert the selection to a path and
