How To Offset A Path In Affinity Designer

In this tutorial we'll be going over how to offset a path in Affinity Designer using the handy Contour Tool.
Path offsetting is when you change an object's size by adding or remove surface area rather than changing its overall width and height. This allows you to create things like outlines and borders of negative space.

    ... I've been using this for two years and never hit that button. I did some Celtic knots a few weeks ago and now I feel stupid.

    Yes you can change it’s color the same way you would change any other object’s color, using the color tab to the right of the screen
