Use this menu option to increase the width of a colour area, expanding the borders with the secondary colour. Rather than manually changing an area of colour pixel by pixel, you can instantly thicken areas of a bitmap layer in the primary colour.
To thicken areas in the primary colour:
- In the Project Tree, select the bitmap layer on which you want to thicken areas of colour.
- Use either of the following methods to display the
Thicken Colour dialog:
- Select
Bitmaps > Colour > Thicken.
- Right-click in the empty space surrounding the
Palette to display its context-menu, and then select
Thicken.
- In the
Number Of Pixels box, enter the brush diameter. The brush diameter should always be an odd number. Even numbers are rounded-up to an odd number.
- Click
OK to close the
Thicken Colour
dialog, and apply a round brush of the specified diameter in the current secondary colour to each pixel on the bitmap layer currently in the primary colour.
If you want to cancel the colour thickening process at any time, click
Cancel.
The original pixels in the bitmap layer remain in the primary colour, and the thickened regions of the bitmap layer are shown in the secondary colour.
Note: If you do not need this distinction, ensure that both the primary and secondary colours are identical in the
Colour Palette before colour thickening.
