### 4.13. Obvod

Obrázek 16.27. Example

An image with a selection

After „Select Border“

Příkaz nahradí aktuální výběr výběrem zahrnujícím jeho obvodové oblasti.

#### 4.13.1. Activating the Command

You can access this command from the main menu through Select → Border….

If there is no selection, this menu entry is disabled.

Two conditions must be respected to use this command:

- The image must have an alpha channel.

- The original image must be created with the Antialiasing option checked in the selection tool that is used.

Obrázek 16.28. The „Border“ dialog window

Vybrat obvod

  Enter the width of the border selection in the box. The default units are pixels, but you can also choose the units with the drop-down menu.

Border Style

  - Hard: this option does not keep antialiasing. This can be useful in some cases.

  - Smooth: this option keeps anti-aliasing. Note that „Smooth“ does not create any anti-aliasing. That's why anti-aliasing must be added when creating the original selection. This option is the best one.

  - Feathered: this option does the same things as „Hard“, but instead of the resulting border being fully selected, it fades outwards. The result is not very good; if you want a feathered border, better is use one of the other modes, and then feather the result. It's there for history reason.

Selected areas continue outside the image

  With this option enabled, an edge of an (usually rectangle) selection remains unchanged if it is aligned with an edge of the image; no new selection will be created around it.
