I would like to do the stroke around the object like the photo below (the 1st one); there's the square corner stroke around the dress. How can i do this type of stroke? Can it be created in Photoshop CS6?
Currently i can only do the stroke that in-line to the object like the 2nd photo, but i would like to change the style to be corner-liked style.
I'm trying to find a simple way to make a border around an image, but with square corners. Stroke does what I want it to, but I want the border on the outside and the corners square, not round- which is what I get when I use stroke on the outside.

The image is on it's own layer so I thought the easiest way was to use "Stroke" in "Layer Styles". But when I do this the corners are always rounded off. I have tried changing the brush styles, but I always get a round corner.

I dont know if this is just me but whenever i try to create and work with a 3D object in Photoshop, this black square seems to pop up for no apparent reason and its really bugging me [mainly because it sometimes blocks my view of the perspective].

I know how to create a path and stroke it, but I was more wondering about a live vector object with a stroke with no fill.
OS: Windows 7 64 bit Ps: CS6
Create a New Layer and place it above the "main object" layer (which has a Clipping Mask) and also apply the Clipping Mask Then I am to Ctrl + Click the main object to Select it and then Right Click to choose Stroke from the menu.
However, when I right click the New Layer with the Clipping Mask the Stroke option is not available ~ nor is it when I click on the object itself on the canvas.
So, I went to Edit > Stroke and tried to apply the Stroke that way but the Stroke is not visible.
I also tried going to Blending Options to apply the Stroke but it's not visible this way either.

I need to create a thin accent line inside of a shape.
Like this:
See the thin accent line inside of the ticket shape?
How do I do this?
I created a square in which I have to draw vertical lines in it. I want the first line to start at 2.5 cm from the left segment of the square.
In a different way to say it just to be clear enough, I want to align the segment (inside the square) from the left vertical line of the square, put 2.5 cm to the right, and then there's my line.
When I try to align it using the align tool, I use the square as a key object. But it select ALL the square, so it puts my line 2.5 cm but to the far right of the square, outside my artwork. I'd want to select only the left line of the square.
I have created many different objects in Photoshop and placed them exactly where I want them. I do now however need a stroke, and the stroke in photoshop is rounded, and I need a stroke with sharp corners.
Therefor I need to import all of the images together into Illustrator and give them a stroke. The only problem is that when I import the images all of them get created into one object with a white background, and when I apply a stroke, it applies it to the rectangle surrounding all the objects. How can I fix this?
Such a scenario:
1 Use the palette apperance can add a new strok to the object.
2 Now, to the stroke, I might add transformations.
3 I want to creatively find the amount of transformations. Turn to preview the changes.
4 Unfortunately, the slider is not precise and varies the size too much.
5 So I make the cursor to the field, and now controls the change of the unit using the keypad.
For example,
Shift + Arrow UP or Down - increments of 10 units
Alt + Arrow UP or Down - jump by one unit
CMD + Arrow UP or Down - jump about half of the
I do work in mm, I would be more precise if I can change the pitch CMD + UP or Down Arrow to jump about 1/10 the unit?
When working with a palette of transformations in view of the above, it is impossible to move the cursor selected object, such as it is in Photoshop when working with a palette of effects? Such a solution would be very fast and very creative.
I can create a shape, drop in an image from outside world, put the shape on top of it, [Command + 7] to create a clipping mask now... I want a nice border around the OUTSIDE of the shape.
I can get a centered stroke. But that's not much use as it begins obscuring some of the content as soon as the stroke has any decent amount of width.I can double click "into" the mask object, and change the stroke to "outside" or "inside" via the Stroke panel, but at this point the stroke disappears.
I have placed a image in illustrator and i tried to put a simple black stroke round it but it doesnt work. what am i doing wrong.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just applied the Adobe Illustrator patch for CS6 this morning bringing it up to version 16.0.2. Ever since then, when I apply a stroke to an object,it deforms it. When I update the stroke weight, it deforms it.
This is making the program completely unusable.

Let's say I have some text (black) with a black stroke on it. (It creates the look I want, without using BOLD.)
How can I convert this text to include the stroke as one entire object? No stroke, just one entire vector shape?
(I notice if you import text this way into Flash, convert to a symbol and fade up from zero opacity, you see the fill as a different value than the stroke value - very annoying.)
Is there a Pathfinder command that I can use to fix this text?
I need the finished script to create a rectangle with no fill and a 20% gray stroke to outline each artboard. I dug this up off these boards, which works perfectly except the rectangles created have no fill or stroke. certainly save me a lot of time drawing rectangles on a daily basis.
#target illustrator
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
var artboardRef = docRef.artboards;
for(i=0;i<artboardRef.length;i++){
var top=artboardRef[i].artboardRect[1] ;
var left=artboardRef[i].artboardRect[0];
var width=artboardRef[i].artboardRect[2]-artboardRef[i].artboardRect[0];
var height=artboardRef[i].artboardRect[1]-artboardRef[i].artboardRect[3];
var rect = docRef.pathItems.rectangle (top, left, width, height);
rect.fillColor = rect.strokeColor = new NoColor();
}
I used the free select tool to free select an area of an image that is not a square (odd shape), how do I make that selection a perfect square if pasted to new image or new layer??? rectangular would be fine too...

I have a problem with my brush and pencil tool. Whenever I want to draw an object without a stroke and just a fill, it immediately assigns me a stroke in either the colour my fill is, or, if I'm using a gradient, in black. It doesn't have that problem with the pen tool though. I also checked in my presettings and my Transform plaette that the "Align to Pixel Grid" option is unchecked. Also, the "New Art has basic appearance" is unchecked.

How do you make the edges square by default?
I'm not sure what I did to make this happen or how to change it back, but for some reason when I change the size of an object/line it changes the stroke weight as well. (For example, if I drew an ellipse with stroke weight 2 pt, and then increased the size the stroke weight would be 2.856 pt or some such number instead of 2 pt.) How to change this back?

View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there a way or an option I am missing to convert my regular paths to a path stroked with a brush profile,while maintining the proper stroke width?
For instance, I have a regular line with a stroke of 5 and then add a brush profile, which then converts the original stroke to whatever the brush was made at.
I have a shape with a black stroke and green fill. I have a white line segment over it. How do I get it so that the end of the line segment doesn't show over the black stroke of the object? If I try to put the line segment behind the object, then the object fill hides it completely.
I'm new to illustrator and I've tried to search for an answer but I don't know the best way to accomplish what I want to do. Seems like some combination of transparency or knockout groups and I've read a bit about this and can't figure out what I need to do.
I need an outline on a stroke that i drew but when i apply object>path>outline stroke i keep getting my initial stroke applied as well. I only need the outline, not the initial stroke. I use Illustrator CC.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure out a way to automate a simple, yet repetative process I do countless times a day. Ideally, I'd like to tie it to a keystroke to speed up my workflow.
I work on line art and colorways for footwear, so the way I'm coloring these shapes and strokes break apart the different materials and pieces of the shoe.
While coloring line art, I work with Pantone spot colors as fills for closed path objects. I then have to manually apply that same color to the stroke, set the stroke to 0.5px weight, convert that spot stroke color to CMYK, and add 15% to the K value.
I found some code in an older post for applying the actively selected object's fill color to the stroke, but I'm having but I'm having trouble with the next step of figuring out how to take that spot stroke color and convert it to a CMYK build that I can then add 15% black to. Is this something that's even possible? I've spent about an hour playing with the script and have only had luck matching the fill color or turning the stroke white.
I have an image that has a black stroke around it. I'm wanting to make that transparent and add a stroke to the outside of the black stroke, so it will basically be an invisible space there. Is that possible or is there an easier way?
