Save this as a “source” file in the GIMP’s native. The completed scrapbook design now comprises several different layers which can be independently adjusted and moved without affecting other layers. But I find the quality rather jagged for text layers. Through experience, I find this method produces the most crisp outline for text captions.Ī more convenient approach is to add the outline directly to the thumbnail or text layer itself, so that moving the thumbnail/text would move the outline as well. Note: There are many methods of adding borders/outlines to elements within GIMP – none of which are very convenient. This adds an external outline around the thumbnail or text caption. Experiment with the width setting until the outline looks right to you. If it it too thick or thin, press Ctrl-X to undo and try again. In the pop-up Stroke Selection dialog box, enter the width of the outline and press the Stroke button.
Select the Outlines layer in the Layers dialog and from the main menu, select Edit > Stroke Selection. Right-click the layer and select Alpha to Selection command from the pop-up menu.Ĭlick the Foreground Color swatch in the Toolbox and select the desired outline colour from the Change Foreground Color dialog box that pops up. Here the thumbnails show koyo scenes at Nijojo Castle and Kiyomizu Temple at night in Kyoto.
