This Palette is designed to re-render an existing solid outline with a new width. The new outline is created as a separate spot layer which can be recoloured. The width of the new outline can also be edited within the working of the Palette itself.

Note: Creation of the outline is performed upon execution of the Palette and is a final rendered result. Any adjustments to the width of the outline detail in the Palette steps will require a re-run of the Palette.
The steps performed in the ‘Line Thickness’ Palette
The Palette duplicates a selected layer and applies a thinning filter to the duplicate, reducing it down to only a pixel thick. The pixel outline is then snap selected and the selection grown out to the width specified in the Palette.
How to use the ‘Line Thickness’ Palette
- Select and make active the outline layer you wish to re-render.
- Click the ‘Line Thickness’ palette. A new ‘black’ layer containing the adjusted outline will appear at the bottom of the layer list.
How to edit the ‘Line Thickness’ final outline width
- Hold ⌥ (option key) and click on the Palette to enter the editing window.
- Locate the ‘Grow’ entry and click its edit icon.
- Enter the required width amount in the appropriate units.
