border around layer using stroke selection
#1
I want to create a border around a picture (which is positioned inside a larger picture). I am trying to use stroke selection for this.

What i do, select the background as the active layer (the picture is a separate layer on top of this). Next use the select tool to select around the picture. Then [Edit]->[Stroke Selection] to draw a border around the image. The problem is, that the border is not only around the image. But also inside the image. Now that is not a problem if the image layer is 100% opaque. Because the image layer is blocking the stroke border underneath it. But if you make the image a little bit transparant, you will see the stroke selection border is also drawn inside the image.

So how do i fix this?

In other words: I want to draw a border fully around a layer (3mm wide), but not inside of it.

Thanks Smile
