Hey! I'm hoping to stroke an image of a person, but leave only the outline, with the image transparent. So basically, something like this: https://imgbin.com/png/UMYfJZK6/outline ... apiens-png

I believe you use the pen tool and draw around the figure. Make sure fill is turned off. Stroke only is selected. Then copy the shape and paste into a new empty layer. Turn off the original layer.

Selecting the subject and choosing Format > Stroke with Brush could also work here if you won't be tweaking the outline afterward. Any brush in the Pixelmator Pro brush collection can be used as a stroke.
