Paths Tool
You can use this tool to trace the perimeter of any item on your image. More significantly, when working with
complex forms, it gives you a lot more control than the other selection tools. The Path tool generates control points
that you can shift about as needed, much like the Intelligent Scissors. You must first draw a route and then stroke
it in order to use the Paths tool in GIMP. Stroke path in GIMP refers to applying a certain style to the route (color,
width, pattern, etc.).
A Path serves two key objectives:
Ð ÐA closed path can be changed into a selection.
Ð ÐAny path, open or closed, can be stroked, which refers to various painting techniques used to the image.
With the paths tool, the following tool options are provided below.
Creating a Path
The path’s outline should be drawn first; it can be adjusted later. Perform the following steps to create a path:
Step 1: Open an Image.
Step 2: Select the Paths Tool by either:
Going to Tools Path in the menu bar.
OR
By clicking the Paths Tool in the Toolbox.
OR
By pressing B on your keyboard.

Step 3: Click to place anchor points around the object you want to select. For straight lines, simply click to add points.
For curves, click and drag to create curved paths. Adjust the handles as needed.
