Symmetric Corner nodes join line
segments with the same slope and depth
on both sides of the node.
To edit a node:
1. Select it with the Node Edit Tool.
2. Drag its control handle(s) to fine-tune the curve.
You can also use the context toolbar to define a line segment as either straight or
curved.
To add a node, double-click on a line segment. To remove a selected node, press
the Delete key.
Use the Straighten Line button to make an line segment
straight.
Creating outlines
Two approaches to creating outlines are available within PhotoPlus—creating an
outline from any current selection and creating outlines around layer objects,
especially text and shapes (as a layer effect). You'll primarily create outlines
around text and other objects so the latter method is predominantly used (but
we'll cover both!).
