Single Pixel Outline For Custom Carving

Single Pixel Outline (Image->Effects->Stylize->Single Pixel Outline) is a design tool which converts your design into its outline. The outline is created by using only one pixel. The outline depends on the primary color.

NOTE: Since Single Pixel Outline works on the layer that is currently active, your design may get changed without your approval, hence, it is advisable that you duplicate your design layer before applying Single Pixel Outline.
