Setting the Thickness for a Loop

You can specify the thickness of a loop that you add to an image.

How to Set the Thickness for a Loop

  1. Open an image that has a loop added to it.
  2. Double-click the loop.
  3. In the properties dialog, change any of the fields on the Loop tab. You can click in the various fields in the Thickness section and change the values for different parts of the loop. The best way to get the look you want is to change the fields and watch the Preview area at the bottom of the dialog as the loop changes.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Click to save your work.

Note A very useful tool when working with objects is a palette, which lets you store objects for future use. For example, if you are including callouts with some images, chances are that you'll want to use the same look and feel for all of the callouts you create. Instead of creating new callouts from scratch each time or copying them from other images, you can create an initial model callout and then add it to a palette. Then, when you're ready to use a callout in another image, you can just drag your model callout from the palette to the image (and make minor changes, such as the text, from there). See Palettes.

What’s Next?

If necessary, you can continue editing the image (e.g., adding objects, effects, a border, a callout; cropping the image; resizing the image). Otherwise, you can finalize the image by saving it. See Editing Images.
