Re: Saving a Path as a BMP

I got it! There is a tall narrow box of icons on the left hand side of
the screen (I don't know the name of this icon-set), but, near the
bottom, there is a double rectangle which is the foreground/background
color selector. By clicking on either rectangle, you get a "color
picker" dialogue box, and I did that and my path got changed to a
thicker line after I selected "stroke path".

I see why the lines are so thick - I had zoomed a whole lot to get my
photo large enough so that i could see the small curves, and, even
though the pencil tool is set to 1 pixel, that got zoomed also.

Is there a way to get photoshop to enlarge the pixel size of the
resulting bmp from my path, and keep the line size to whatever I have
chosen in the pencil selector (2nd row of icons on top)? Say, for
instance, my photo is 100X200 pixels coming in, and I blow it up 4X so
I can trace over it, and I want it saved as a 400X800 bmp where the
lines maintaing their curvature (no zaggies from zooming in on fixed
pixels, like mspaint does)? That would be ideal, if it can be done.

Of course, I can work around this by enlarging the photo to the size I
need BEFORE I open it in photoshop, but, I would like to have that
flexibility within photoshop if I could.

Thanks for the advice about the foreground color.

I am guessing that this foreground color works for ALL layers? Is that
right?

Little by little I am picking up on this very complicated application.
