Having problem with applying layer style "stroke" to group

- Windows 8.1 / 64bit
- i3-4150 / 4GB / Geforce GTX 750 TI
- Photoshop CC 2014
Hi!
I don't know why, but there is some problem that applying layer style "stroke" to group.
When i make a group with some layer and apply to group a layer style-stroke with inside option,
the strokes looks like grid are generated inside.
Why i said that stroke cross to ㅎrid, because it looks like grid if i make that group bigger.
(that black square is 'Rectangle 1' layer. Just resizing bigger than before)
Does anyone have same problem with me?
Please, I need your help..

I am having the same problem. it happens every time in cc and cc 2014. I am back using cs6. Which seems to run better on the whole.
That's interesting. And this is happening with CC and CC 2014? Do you have all the updates for the Photoshop CC versions?
I've just tried to duplicate it without success, (windows 7, GTX570) so I wonder if there is a condition that triggers it? Unfortunately, with this being such an old thread, the only person still around is R Kelly.
OK, I just thought to try it on my Cintiq Companion 2, which has Windows 8.1 and Intel 5100, and the bug occurred. I actually got as far as firing up my Win 8.1 laptop before remembering that I had to sign out of CC to put it on my Cintiq, so I only have CS6 on it.
Anyway.... looks like the bug is still there. Are you using Win 8.1?

Layer Styles / Strokes causing lag 64bit PS

Hi There,
I'm a comic artist using Photoshop CC (64 bit, Version: 14.2.1) on a Windows 8.1 machine, with a 4th Gen i7, Nvidia 750M 2GB GFX card and 16Gb RAM. 'Use Graphics Processor' is set to Advanced and Memory Usage is set to 10348Mb (71%).
I'm running a dual screen setup with a Wacom Cintiq 21UX hooked up via HDMI to my Dell XPS 2720.
I typically work on an A4 size document at 400dpi.
The problem I'm having is with tremendous lag when using the transform tool to scale things up and down and when using the standard brush tool for comic art linework.
I have a group of layers with all my speech bubbles and text in. With each white speech bubble on a seperate with a Layer Style / Stroke of 5 pixels around each one.
If I hide all of the speech bubbles (But not the text) then scaling using the Transform tool is nice and smooth and 100% lag free, as it should be on my spec machine.
If I disable Graphics Processor Settings, or scale them down to Normal or Basic the problem is exactly the same.
If I use the 32 bit version of Phtooshop CC scaling and brush storkes are lag free even with the speech bubble layers visible.
I've updated my system bios and GFX card drivers to the latest Dell release.
It's an annoying technical hiccup that I've found a workaround for but I would like and expect to be able to use basic tools like Transform and the Brush without lag, with all layers visible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Thanks for replying to my thread.
After posting to a new thread here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/6263746#6263746
Through my own roundabout way I got to this same conclusion.
So yes, you're completely right, it helps massively. If only you'd been around a few weeks ago.
Thanks again.

Ps CS6 Layer Style Stroke aliasing problem

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.

Just fiddlin' around with Outer Glow because it has much more control, and I found a way to make a smoothly anti-aliased "outer stroke-like" effect... Compare the quality of the Stroke against Outer Glow here...

New stroke options for the layer style "Stroke"

Hi,
The new stroke options are fantastic where you can edit gaps, align and corners. And I love the ability to add layer styles to groups which makes it much easier to work with separate parts in a group that should be treated as a common object.
BUT! Why haven't you updated the stroke (layer style) options to include these new awesome stroke features? I would love to be able to make dashed strokes as a layer style that can be applied to groups, and I don't see why this should be excluded as an option.
Thanks for an otherwise great application!

We are happy that you like the new features in CS6. You can request new features from your ideas here: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family and people can vote on them.
Note: A shape layer stroke is a vector-based stroke and is applied only to shape layers. This is very different from the layer syle stroke.
You can control the settings for this stroke in the options bar for the vector tools (Shape, Pen, Path Selection, Direct Selection). This stroke is an attribute of the shape layer and will not cause the fx icon to display on the layer in the Layers panel.
A layer style stroke is a pixel-based stroke and can be applied to any layer that accepts layer styles (including shape layers). The settings for this stroke are controlled via the Layer Styles dialog.

Layer style stroke for open paths

I would like to be able to apply something like the Layer Style Stroke to open Paths non-destructively (so »Stroke path with brush« does not meet my, well, »needs« might be to strong a word).
Currently using a Path as a Vector Mask for a Solid Color Layer and applying Stroke to that causes open Paths to appear closed.

How to apply Layer Styles?

I'd like to apply do an "Add Layer Style"/"Stroke" on the active document layer. I can't find any more documentation on how to do this than:
applyStyle (styleName)
string Applies the specified style to the
layer.
Note: You must use a style from
the Styles list in the Layer
Style dialog.
What would the styleName string be for a stroke? How would I specify color, size, and "position"?
Frankly, I'm not even sure this is the right command... Thanks.

Hello fellow members,
I am a beginner on photoshop and was after a specific action. I want to create a photo that has been taken in colour, convert it to black and white, but have one specific item in the picture in colour eg a bunch of flowers or lips or eyes. I have been told it is something to do with layers, but this is not helpful to me. Can anyone help with some (simple) instructions as to how I can acheive this.
Thanks, anita

Is Anyone Else Having Problems With 10.6.1 Freezing?

Is anyone else having problems with iTunes 10.6.1 freezing? On a perfectly-maintained Windows PC, 10.6.1 is suddenly freezing for no reason. This means that my iPhone or iPad can't be synchronized.

From my experience, involving three hours of troubleshooting using Apple's tutorials, without help from Apple:
1. Do the steps here to remove and reinstall all Apple software on your machine, "Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP," at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925.
2. If you care, they don't tell you or ask you to uninstall MobileMe in those steps.
3. After I did as they wrote to do, iTunes wouldn't recognize either my iPhone or iPad. On my own I found that Applie's software reinstallation failed to install the Apple Mobile Device Software Driver. So I followed the steps at, "iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows," which took me 25 minutes alone to find. See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Those steps solved everything and iTunes is now back to normal.

Having problem with the printer with type "PDF Publisher"

Hi,
We are having problem with printing PDF reports with print style as "PDF Publishrer". The concurrent program errors out after it generates the report. But when we try that with style "PORTRAIT" then it prints successfully. We have tried with a number of printers and a number of reports. The results are same. So my understanding is it has something to do with the printer configuration from the EBS side.
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

Trying to get my fcp project to burn to dvd at the highest quality? Ive used compressor and then tried to put it in dvdsp put its not working. I am having problems with the audio or when i burn it , i cant play the dvd? any help would be appreciated

Ive used compressor and then tried to put it in dvdsp put its not working. I am having problems with the audio or when i burn it , i cant play the dvd? any help would be appreciated

I suspect you are attempting to burn an HD DVD, which will not play on a DVD player...
But if you provide more details such as the settings you are applying in Compressor, then we would be able to provide you more accurate information.
How are you adding the files to Compressor?
In FCP, what are your footage properties (command-9) and sequence settings (command-0)

Still having Problems with yamaha USB UX16 midi device can anyone help??

I have setup drivers on my computer which have installed successfully. In logic I have setup environment so Physical input sequenser and keyboard are all connected up in Click and Ports layer.
When I am trying to play keyboard I still have no input or outport signal in transport window I am stuck on what to do??
please can someone help???

I take back all I said. After reading reviews of this product, take it back to wherever you bought it and buy something else, anything else, everyone hates this thing, and is having problems with it. get a midisport instead.
http://www.midiman.com/index.php?do=products.list&ID=usbmidiinterfaces
here are a couple of reviews:
Dec 12, 2006 - It is hit or miss as far as compatability goes and you don't know until it is too late if the full instruction set is going to be sent/recieved intact. Tried it on various Macs, PCs and inconsistent in every situation. Yamaha needs to issue a full recall on this POC called the UX-16.
Nov 6, 2004 - The first Yamaha UX 16 that I bought worked okay for a day, then started to cause a buzzing noise. The next day, it was not recognized at all by my laptop. I returned it to the retailer, hoping to find a competitive portable USB/MIDI interface at another store. After failing to find an alternative at the other store, I bought the Yamaha UX16 again, hoping that the first dud was a fluke.
The second UX16 also worked for one day before giving out.
Avoid the UX16.
Apr 12, 2004 - This thing only works for a short period of time then quits being detectable to windows for random periods of time. Totally unreliable.

I am having problem with using the Basic brush definition

I am having problem with using the Basic brush definition. When I try to click on it will not allow me to use it and will automatically use the 5 pt. oval brush definition. The only way I can use the basic brush is after I have already drawn something and then I have to click on the stroke and then press basic. This is incredibly annoying and if anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it. (I have Adobe CS6)

for whatever reason, the basic 'brush' you see in the brushes palette effectively means removing any brush from a path. to draw with the brush tool you need a brush defined. in your case the last one selected being the 5 pt oval one.

Basic is not a brush, only a starting point for you to make a brush. Load the real brush you want before beginning to draw.

Having problems with rendering clipls

I am new to Premier elements, and am having problems with my clips needing frequent rendering. Clips that have been rendered go from green (line) to red when a transition is added or if it is trimmed and must be rendered again. Also rendering seems to take a very long time, sometimes going fast, sometimes going a frame per second or slower. One possible problem is that I am mixing clips from two different cameras, one a HD and the other a standard def camera. I don't know if this is a factor or not.

If your clips are initially importing with a red line your project preset may be wrong - what preset are you using?
After applying transitions or effects it is normal for those segments to go red line.
It doesn't help to use two different types of video in one project. What is your final output intent - DVD or BluRay? If DVD then it would be better to convert your HD material to DV-AVI. See the Gspot link below - analyse both types of clip you are using and post the screen images here.
Some basics:
Install all Windows Updates.
Install latest version of Apple QuickTime (v7.6.7 at time of writing). Even if you don't use QuickTime, PRE relies heavily on it.
Install most recent graphics and sound drivers from the manufacturers web sites.
Run Disk Cleanup.
Run Defragmenter.
Temporarily disable any anti-virus realtime scanning.
Use the GSpot Codec Information Utility to analyse the file and post screen image.

Apply layer style

apply layer style layer1 using "Sunset Sky (Text)"
The above statement works for me in Photoshop
In the same way, Is there way that I can
apply layer style art layer using "Bevel and Emboss"
i.e., Layer--> Layer Style -->Bevel and Emboss-->Style(set to Outer Bevel)

With the scriptlistner plugin installed create an outerbevel with the settings you require. Then before doing anything else in Photoshop open the scriptlistnerJS log and find the last entry. It should look something like this. This is an outerbevel with the default settings.

Having problems with using shift alt command when using the square tool

having problems with using shift alt command when using the square tool

Marco,
If no good reason, such as the one suggested by Silkrooster, is present, you may try the list, hoping for one of the easy ones at the top.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:

5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
