Make an edge using a selection. - rich2005 - 03-25-2017
This is a follow up from a request for a Gimp plugin "A Stencil" that creates an 'edge' to constrain a paint tool.
Gimp does not have that tool and I think that using standard tools to create a selection is one way to go.
A short video demonstrating two possibilities,
1. Using a path to create a selection
2. Using the quickmask tool.
More about basic use of the selection tools here.

Rich, I must thank you for this explication in your helpful video. I'll use your method as I see it much easier and accurate than I usually do.
