Tips: About White Outlines

White outlines are used to add a white edge around items such as characters. Adding a white outline makes the character, etc. stand out so that it is easier to see.

White outlines can be added either by drawing with the [Pen] tool or by outlining a selection.

To create a white outline from a selection, create the area to be outlined in white using the [Selection] tool. Select the [Edit] menu → [Outline Selection] and then select [Draw outside] in the displayed [Outline Selection] dialog box to draw a white outline.
