Hi, This gives me a solid 1 pixel left, right, bottom and an anti-aliased lower left and right corner.
I probably created 5 more steps than necessary :-). Is there a better way? 1. File->New Specify the required height and width and fill with the color needed for the border. 2. Select->Rounded Rectangle Required radius of 10. 3. Select->Invert 4. Edit->Cut This gets rid of the corners. 5. Select Region by Color Click the image (see step 1) 6. Select->Shrink by 1 7. Edit->Cut 8. I fix up the top with the pencil and eraser to straighten the sides and get ride of the top line. I noticed when I used File->New, Select->All, Edit->Stroke Selection, and selected the second option "Stroke with a paint tool" and selected the pencil as the paint tool, that only two sides (top and left) of the selection would get outlined. The pencil tool was a 1 pixel circle with no other options set. I expected to see a 1 pixel border on all 4 sides. I zoomed in and looked. If I increased the pixels (ie. 3 px) it kind of worked. It was clearly not 3 pixels on all sides. It seemed consistent in not doing all 4 sides with a 1 pixel pencil. I am not sure if I have something set in GIMP to create this outcome. [GIMP 2.2.13] However, if I selected the first option, "Stroke line", with a width of 1, solid, and antialiasing not checked, I got the expected 1 pixel border. In general, I couldn't use this method after a Select->Rounded Rectangle because I need the corners to be antialiased but not the sides. With antialising checked, the corners were okay, but it also changed the color of the 1 pixel border on the left, right and bottom, so I came up with the above 8 step method ;-) Thank you.
