Re: Luftwaffe Outlined Numbers with Gimp 2.6
I don't know it my technique is the same as in the video, but here's what I do to make outlined characters:
1) Draw the numeral or letters in black on a white background
2) Select the black color using the magic wand
3) Click the "Selection to Path" button (sometimes the path needs to be manually adjusted to smooth them out)
4) On a new layer fill the selection with the desired color.
5) On another new layer, stroke the path, using whatever size produces the proper outline.
(Keeping the inside and outline colors on separate layers will let you easily change one without affecting the other.)
