Photoshop :: Inside Stroke Layer Style And Opacity?

Sep 10, 2012

When i apply an inside stroke with transparency to a layer, the opacity seems to cause a knock-out effect on the layer itself rather than applying the transparent stroke.
 
How do i apply a semi transparent inside stroke without making the object it's applied to become transparent rather than the stroke itself?

Photoshop :: Layer Stroke Opacity Not Working?

Oct 22, 2013

In the image below on the larger element i have a stroke with 0% Opacity but as you can see the stroke is white when it should be transparent?  I even changed the blending mode to multiply and the white color stroke still remains.  I put the Opacity on 0% to test if something was wrong and this confirms it.

Photoshop :: CS6 Layer Style Stroke Aliasing

Jul 17, 2012

Ps CS6 (13.0)
OS X 10.6.8
 
There seems to be a problem with aliasing of Layer Style Stroke.The attached images show the result of the three Position options for the stroke. The pixels to which the Layer Style Stroke was applied were created by stroking a path with a white 72 px hard brush onto an empty layer over white Background.
 
Layer Style>Stroke>Structure>Position: Outside
Outer edge of the stroke is poorly aliased.
 
Layer Style>Stroke>Structure>Position: Inside
Inner edge of the stroke is poorly aliased and has intermittent artefacts.
 
Layer Style>Stroke>Structure>Position: Center

Outer edge is poorly aliased
Inner edge is poorly aliased and has intermittent artefacts.

Photoshop :: How To Add A 100% Stroke To 50% Opacity Box

Oct 27, 2008

I have 20 boxes that have to be linked like a flow chart over a black and white photo. Each box needs an opacity of about 50% white to insert text. Each box needs a 100% black stroke around it. But when I apply the stroke to the box and then lower the box opacity to 50%, the black stroke fades out as well. I can't find a way to allow the 100% stroke to remain 100% black around the 50% opacity box.

Photoshop :: Brush Opacity Overlap In Same Stroke?

Mar 7, 2012

I just got an Intuos5 and I'm not very experienced with the Photoshop settings regarding tablet usage. I want to replicate the effect of drawing on paper with a marker, without lifting my pen. If you go back and forth over the same spot 15 times on a piece of paper with a marker without (lifting the marker), that spot will be much darker than if you make one stroke. I understand that in Photoshop I can lift my pen off the tablet and do the same stroke 15 times, but logistically, that just doesn't work with the way I draw.
 
Basically, I'm wondering if there's a way to make it so opacity is purely dependent on how many times a certain spot is covered WITHOUT LIFTING MY PEN.I know there are controls to switch brush opacity to coincide with pen pressure, but I don't want to destroy my new tablet by carving into it to have a pure black stroke.
 
To demonstrate what I mean by this, here's an extremely crude example in which the left represents how photoshop works for me now, versus how I'd like it to work. Notice how going over the same spot within the same stroke, those intersections are darkened.

GIMP :: Applying Color - Stroke Path Opacity

Oct 23, 2012

I seem to come unstuck when I apply colour using the 'Stroke Path' option. Basically I need to know if there's a way of determining the opacity of the stroke line? In some cases I don't need to have such a 'dense' colour. I want to see a little of what I've 'painted over' so as to keep some of the detail.

Illustrator :: When Reduce Opacity Of Top Layer How To Keep Bottom Layer From Shining Through

I have two objects intersecting each other on different layers. The object on the top layer I reduced the opacity for and the bottom layer which was previously hidden now is shining through. I do not want this to happen. I want the bottom layer to remain hidden beneath the top layer despite the lowered opacity. How would I accompish this simply? I have CS2.

Illustrator :: Align Stroke To Inside Of Corner

Jul 17, 2013

I have a bent path, standard 90 degree corner.  Illustrator CC is not allowing me to align the stroke to the inside of the path/corner.  The inside and outside options are grayed out when this path is selected.
 
Of course, I can create a shape and then all three options for path alignment are usable.  But if I cut a gap into the path of that shape it instantly reverts to a center aligned stroke.  I can create what I need manually.  But this is a time addition.

Illustrator :: AI Not Allowing To Add Stroke That Aligns To Inside?

Illustrator :: How To Add A Stroke To Inside Of Compound Path

Aug 27, 2013

I'm having trouble making adjustments to my compound path/shape, as I'd like to outline the inside of the shape with a stroke - but this doesn't seem possible as the stroke always surrounds the outside too.

So: I've got a simple rectangle with white fill, with a rectangle-window hole cut out of it using the compound path action so you can see the layers beneath. Now I want to stroke the window hole, but NOT the outside of the entire rectangle. I'd be happy to split the shape up and tried various options like divide, edit in isolation mode, expand (button is greyed out), all the pathfinders - but none of them allow me to do this only to the inside part of the path.
 
How I can perform this action? I'm working in CS5 and CS6.

Illustrator :: How To Add Inside / Outside Stroke To Clipping Mask

Apr 1, 2013

I'm pretty new to Illustrator so there's a chance this is a stupid question, but I'm pretty stumped on this. If I have a path with a stroke that is set to either inside or outside, it disappears if I draw something inside of it to convert it into a clipping mask. The stroke shows up again if I align it to center, but even this seems to have some quirks as it won't display multiple strokes.  After searching the web for a bit this is the best description/example I've been able to find for this problem:

Anyside strokes or multiple strokes to work correctly in this scenario? If not, is there a logical reason for this or is there a bug?

GIMP :: Layer Groups And Layer Modes / Opacity?

May 14, 2012

I just downloaded GIMP 2.8 (on Windows 7) and was using the layer groups to organize a project I'm doing. I noticed that whenever I put the layers into the layer group, nothing I do to them actually affects the image (for example if I change the opacity of the layer, it doesn't actually change). If I drag them out of the layer group they function perfectly; sometimes if I edit them and then drag them into the group they also work fine.

As I was writing this post I tested dragging a layer set to "dodge" into the group and it didn't work. It kept the dodge setting, but it looked as if it was on normal; however, I drug another layer set on dodge into the group and it worked fine.

Is this feature just broken on Windows, or does it not work like I thought (where you can drag them in and edit them individually, or edit them all by editing the layer group itself)?

Photoshop :: Creating Font With Stroke Style

May 30, 2008

I want to create a yellow font that has a transparent stroke inside of it. Also I want to add another white stroke behind the text on the outside. I have done this by adding a black stroke inside the text and then coping the layer and adding a white stroke to the outside and putting this layer behind the first. I then select the black stroke with the magic selection tool and delete it. This gives me the effect that I want, however when I delete the black stroke the font is not smooth like it once was.

Illustrator :: Why Align Stroke Inside And Outside Path Not Working Correctly

Feb 11, 2013

I'm trying to add a stroke that's aligned to the outside of my path.  It appears to be offsetting the stroke *and* moving anchor points at the same time.  It does the same kind of thing when I align the stroke to the inside.  It is fine when i align the stroke to center. The one that is offset to the top-left is the align-inside one.

Photoshop :: Layer Opacity Vs. Transparency

Photoshop :: 50% Layer Opacity Later Deemed To Be 100%

Aug 18, 2009

If I set a layer's opacity or layer fill opacity to be 50%, often I'll later realize that though it still looks to be a 50%, the setting now says 100%, meaning that I can't make it opaque again. What did I do wrong?

Photoshop :: Multiple Layer Opacity?

Sep 12, 2005

I am creating shadows for a large file, so my opacity is set to 50%. When I copy and paste shadows (such as or multiple windows to save time) they paste back at 100%. I have to constantly flip layers and change, and its very tedious. Plus, when I get to the point of flattening them all, if they are not all at 100% then whatever opacity they are at BECOMES 100%, so I cant change it again later.

Photoshop :: Opacity Of Part Of Circular Layer

Aug 15, 2005

I am creating a logo that is a series of six equally sized graphics, arranged in a circle and overlapping, sort of like the Olympic Circles, but in once circle rather than two lines. I want only the parts that overlap to be less opaque, so that in that one sliver, you can see both of them at the same time. I want the rest of each circular graphic to remain at 100% opacity. Each circle graphic is a separate layer. How do I do that?

Photoshop :: How Do I Make A Layer Going From The Left To The Right 0% Opacity To 100%?

Nov 7, 2006

I wanna 'blend' two photos together.

My plan was to have one photo in the bottom layer.

then adding a layer with the second photo. Then I let that layer go from the left (100% opacity) to the right (0% opacity).

But how do I do that.

In my example with only colors I have used motion blur. But I can't do that in my photos cause then one of the photos get very blury.

Photoshop :: Changing Opacity In Selection On Layer Without Changing Entire Layer

Aug 21, 2013

I've been using Photoshop CS2 for several years to enhance my photographs, but just now have encountered something simple I cannot find out how to do.   I have on the background layer a picture of a room interior with the exposure set mostly for the open window, but the rest of the room is very dark.  On the only other layer, the upper one, I have the same shot exposed correctly for the room, which overexposes the window area.  The upper and lower layers are perfectly superimposed, and the upper layer is at 100% opacity. 

I have selected the window on the upper layer and want to change the selected area's opacity to blend properly with the window on the bottom layer without changing opacity of the rest of the layer.  No matter what I do, changing opacity seems to affect only the entire layer, and I haven't figured out how to isolate the selected area for the opacity change.
 
I can cut the selection to reveal the darker window on the bottom layer, but this doesn't give me the flexibility I need to balance the two exposures. An opacity change would be ideal.

Photoshop :: Reducing Workspace Size Changes Layer Opacity?

Mar 14, 2012

I have a corrupt version or if there's a  setting I'm not aware of. When I try to change the size of my canvas on screen (zoom in or out) but don't want to take the time to select the magnifying glass tool, I typically just type a percentage in the small percentage box lower left corner of my canvas.Sometimes this works fine. Sometimes it doesn't and it actually changes the opacity of whatever layer I'm on instead?? I don't want it to serve this function. I can change opacity in my layers pallette. How can I turn this function off?

Photoshop :: Filter Effect And Layer Style In Same Layer Versus Separate Layers

Mar 18, 2013

I'm adjusting a photographic image and am using both a filter effect and a layer style in the same layer on a Smart Object.  I want to separate the two effects into two layers, so one layer has the filter effect (Nik) and one layer has the layer style (Color Overlay) (with the goal of merging/rasterizing the Nik filter effect with the Smart Object but keeping the layer style unmerged).  I can make two layers and move one effect without problem, but the visual result of each effect on a separate layer is quite different from having both effects in the same layer.   The Blend Mode for all my layers is Normal.  Within the Color Overlay panel, the blend mode is Linear Burn.
 
 Layer 1: a layer style and a filter effect, stacked
 
looks very different from....
 
Layer 2:  a layer style
Layer 1:  a filter effect

Photoshop :: Can't Paint At Full Opacity In Layer Mask In CS6 64 Bit Windows 7

Oct 31, 2012

A problem has developed in my photoshop CS 6 64 bit on windows 7. I can't paint at full opacity in a layer mask. It is like an 75 % opacity brush. I have gone back to the default brushes soit is not the particular bursh. My brush settings are all at 100%, mask density is 100% , the blend mode is normal,-can't think of where else to look for the solution.The brush works just fine when I am not in a layer mask.I updated the graphic card driver and also the wacom intuos driver. It has to be somewhere in photoshop CS6 as when I go into my older version photoshop, cs5, the mask opacity works works at 100 % opacity.

Photoshop :: Base Layer Layer Style With Clipping Masks

Feb 19, 2009

I'm using a clipping mask on a layer. The base layer that the clipping mask is referencing has a layer effect applied (in this case an inner shadow). I want to make it so the layer effect is only applied to the base layer and NOT the clipped layers.

Below is an example of what I'm talking about. as you can see, layer 1 has the base layer's inner shadow applied to it. I want the inner shadow to be hidden by Layer 1, but the clipping mask to still apply.

Photoshop :: Can Sample Layer True Color Despite Its Opacity And Blend Mode

Jan 23, 2013

I'm doing some painting with a lot of layers set to different blend modes.  I find that every time I want to paint on one of these layers, I have to go to that layer, set the opacity back to 100, change the blend mode back to "normal" sample the color, then change everything back and continue painting.  I realize I can save a swatch for the color, but it can get confusing when you're using subtle color differences on multiple layers.  It seems like there should be a modifier key to the tool that samples the layers "true" color discarding opacity and blend mode.
