got a circle - constructed on a extra layer -
so far so good ; what i need is to get the cirlce get colored note: not the area in the circle but the lines of the cirle!? ’
how to achieve this - which tools to work with - any and all idaes are greatly appreciated
look forward to hear from you
greetings
So the circle is on a separate layer to the background? If so you could use the colourize option under the menu colours. (I’m guessing this is GIMP?)
There are also a couple of other ways to achieve this you could use colour exchange and select the colour of the circle and replace it with the colour you want to use
If I understand correctly what you want to do:
Edit > Stroke Selection
A popup menu will appear to select the color and the thickness of the line.
good day - sure thing this is Gimp
thank you - i will try out this
Stagger Lee - i will also try this…

btw: Stagger - you mean this here
many thanks
You could use the selection border function.
Yes.
I mistakenly wrote that the popup window contained the color selection - it doesn’t, the color selection is in the toolbox. My memory was a bit faulty.
That will give you this end result, which I think is what want:
You can get a smoother looking circle by converting the ellipse/circle selection to a path, then stroking the path. It’s one extra step: create your circle with the Ellipse tool, then Select > To path, then use Edit > Stroke path instead of Stroke selection.
That makes the edges look smoother, which may or may not be important to you.
