rambuster Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hi all, i'd like to select a logo in order to impose it as another layer in a different pic. the catch is, that i want to add some sort of a (white) "border" to the logo. In Photoshop i can achieve that by using "extend selection" with a few pixels before copying the selection. is there a way to do that in pdn? cheers ram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJXD Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 So you want to extend the selection you have out by a few pixels but all relative to the original? EDIT: I'll assume that's what you mean. There's no particular function for it but theres a cheap and nasty trick you can try. 1. Have your selection selected and make a new layer 2. Fill that selection with a colour and unselect 3. Gaussian Blur it to the desired amount 4. grab your magic wand and set it to 0% tolerence 5. select outside the blurred area and now you have a selection 2,3,4,5 pixels out from your original. Do with it what you will Quote |My Sig Tut| Deviant Art |Advanced Grunge Texture|My Gallery The Birthplace of Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rambuster Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 thats close enough to what i intend to do! (the tiny downside is the rounding at the corners, but thats okay for me) thx for the quick reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJXD Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 You may want to try the other blurs, they may yield a better result Quote |My Sig Tut| Deviant Art |Advanced Grunge Texture|My Gallery The Birthplace of Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
