In this tutorial we'll be going over how you can quickly add an outline around a PNG image that has a transparent background.
To do this, all you need to do is enable Outline in the QuickFX menu, then use the menu interface to dictate the size and color of the outline.
Once you are finished you can export your newly-outlined PNG using the "Selection Only" setting in the Export menu.
