Converting selections to shapes

You can convert a selection to a shape to edit its contour. When you are satisfied with the contour, you can convert the shape outline back to a selection. For more information, see To convert a shape to a selection.

If you are scaling, rotating, or skewing a selection path, use the Selection Adjuster tool. If you must edit the profile of the curve, convert the selection to a shape.

Working from a selection path also lets you create shapes based on regions of the image. For example, if you used the Magic Wand tool to select a region of common color, you could convert the Magic Wand selection path to a shape. When the selection is pixel-based, Corel Painter may create multiple shapes.

For best results, the selection should be path-based. If the selection is pixel-based, from the menu bar choose Select Transform Selection to convert it to a path-based selection.
