Re: Making a path from a circle selection In article <1hk4zce.fhumjcgh23ysN%nomail@please.invalid>,
Nope; not even close. Try it.
If you do this, the resulting path will be quite jagged. This is to be
expected, if you understand what a selection is.
A selection is a pixel-based object. A perfectly round selection is not
possible; because the selection itself is made of pixels, and because
pixels are square, a selection that is curved will always be
"stairstepped." Setting a very low tolerance on the path makes the
problem worse, as it causes the path to follow the stairstepping
faithfully.
To make a perfectly round path, use the Ellipse tool. When you click on
the Ellipse tool (or any Shape tool), you can tell it to make a path by
clicking on the Paths button in the Options bar. The Paths button is the
one that looks like a square with a pen icon over it. On the Options
bar, it is the center button in the group of three buttons on the
left-hand side.
