Ruze Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Illustrator has a handy outlining tool that will outline something and not smooth off the edges. There are outlining tools for Paint.net but every single one of them wont let me make it where the outlines mirror the object directly.

BoltBait Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Your best bet is to draw the shape with the fill color and outline color you want. Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruze Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 @TrevorOutlaw No sorry, I wasn't clear. That is the opposite of what i want to do. Haha, I appreciate the help but I am looking for a way to outline something and keep the original edges EVEN if they are sharp all the outline plugins (like boltbait's, which is very helpful despite it not doing exactly what i want [thank you bot bait]) will make sharp edges rounded off in the outline. the outline I want sounded like another plugin that might be on this website but i haven't found it sadly. thanks anyway guys i guess I will manually do it.

TrevorOutlaw Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 @Ruze, what you can do, though, is use what BoltBait suggested. In the Shape option drop down menu, you can select Draw Filled Shape With Outline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberFlame Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I have this problem too! I want a miter join outline but the plugin only have a round join. I'm going to try to contact the plugin developer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardneh Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 @CyberFlame This may or might not be helpful for what you want to outline. Make a rectangular selection around the object that you want to outline. Copy, then paste into a new image. Ctrl Alt V Center the object in the canvas with the Align Object plugin. Duplicate the layer, change the lower layer object to the color that you want for the outline. Apply - Layers > Rotate / Zoom Merge layers. Copy and paste into a new layer in the original image. Reposition as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
