I went through all of the plugins I felt were worth downloading. I made an index of every effect in them. Now when I do a tutorial, I can search for the required effect and find out what plug in I need, and hopefully, where to find in the PDN UI. So it looks like I have 3 options for outline. Two from effect -> object, and one in effect -> stylize. None of them have an option to do an interior outline as called for in the tutorial. I believe what I have to do is sligtly srink a copy of the original, larger object, and outline that. Afterwards, i need to clear out the center turning it into alpha transparency. But the tutorial makes me believe there is a more efficient way to do this. I just can't find it.

It will work. Maybe faster than the GIMP tool as you dont have to stop to nail points. The nice thing about the lasso is that you have a guaranteed enclosed area. With the demonstrated tool, I can envision how one might 'miss' in closing up the selection area and wind up with a fail. The GIMP tool was not perfect either. I noticed the artist had to go in and clean the edges in the video. Maybe some day we will see a version of the lasso with nurbs? Thanks again.

I was watching a speed paint/speed coloring video and was quite impressed by the outlining tool used. Outlining Tool in GIMP - Music may be objectionable. Is there something similar for Paint.NET? I saw a reference to outlining in the Bolt Bait Plugin pack. Is this where I need to look? Thanks for the help and advice.
