hi i’m following this tutorial

[http://robouk.mchost.com/tuts/tutorial.php?tutorial=lcdorbs](http://robouk.mchost.com/tuts/tutorial.php?tutorial=lcdorbs)

part 2 : Now without deselecting, create a new layer:

Press X, then D on the keyboard to reset the colours. Now go to Edit\>Stroke for the settings choose 4 and colour black. Click OK.

I have the path in layer1 selected then create a new layer, then try to stroke it… but obviously it doesn’t work since there is nothing in that layer to stroke… surely it doesn’t mean stroke layer 1 does it?
