Highlight selection - Krzysiu/krzysiu-gimp-plugin-pack GitHub Wiki

Gimp plugin which allows to fill selection with color and border it in a simple fashion. It could be used to create tutorials ("click here" highlight), highlight the important part of PDF document etc.

• Choose plugin from menu: Filters>Krzysiu>Highlight selection...
  ^{Protip! To move it, edit line "<Image>/Filters/Krzysiu/Highlight selection"
  Protip 2! You can create a new layer to keep original image intact.}
• Set your settings or rely on default
• To repeat, select another part of image and press CTRL+F (repeat last filter)

• Color and opacity of the background
• Select "Use background color for border" if you want plugin to ignore border color and just reuse color of the background
• Color, opacity, round radius and size of the border
• Border type - position relative to the selection
  ^{Outer is outside selection, Inner is inside and Middle makes the selection middle of the border (in 4 px wide middle border it will be 2 px outside selection and 2 px inside)}

• It won't work on multiple selections
• In indexed images alpha won't work, so if opacity of background or border >50, it will be 100% opaque and if lesser, it will be off
• It won't work if the border is inner or middle and the border would render bigger than selection

• Ability to add label inside highlight
• Different blend modes
