Look at the outermost selection, on the part left of the collar/tie inner curve (right where the shoulder curves up to the neck). There is an actual break in the line, several pixels long.

In that package, if you select by color (the"magic" wand tool) an object with internal areas of the "wrong color", you can get multiple closed loops. For example, selecting the black part of the figure "8", you will have three "closed loops", two around the inner circles and one around the outer outline. This picture seems also to be composed of three such loops - one for the outline, one for the eye, and one for the collar. Not sure I get what you mean, but maybe because I use PaintShop Pro

If there is such a thing.)
