Can anyone tell me if there is a straightforward way to make a circular path? You could use the Elliptical Select Tool (hold Shift down to get a perfect circle). Then convert your selection to a path (Rightclick on Image - Select - To Path) Andreas

Hi, Eric Seppanen [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Yes, but at smaller sizes this results in a bad lumpy circle. Presumably elliptical-select is drawing a pixellated circle, and then selection-to-path is approximating that pixellated shape with the path. It's a known problem of the selection to

Yes, but at smaller sizes this results in a bad lumpy circle. Presumably elliptical-select is drawing a pixellated circle, and then selection-to-path is approximating that pixellated shape with the path. Another solution (maybe easyer) could be : 1. Create a big circular selection 2.
