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.

  • 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...

  • Two more options in the paragraph styles panel

    I would like two options in the paragraph styles panel.
    1.
    The posibility to set the 'Sort by name' option as a default or persistent
    2.
    The ability to label the styles with colors

    Let me second the motion for a persistent "Sort by name" option for the Paragraph Styles panel.
    In addition, somebody at Abobe "improved" the Paragraph style "Basic Character Formats" menu for CS6 by sabotaging the natural progression of tabbing directly from setting the *Font Size* to setting the *Leading* amount. Why would anyone at Adobe think that going from *font size* to *kerning* is an improvement for design professionals?

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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?

    D.p.middleton the Adobe Application Manager has been available for quite some time.  It not only allows Creative Cloud users to install their applications but also downloads and applies applicable updates.  In addition it is also responsible for the licensing and managing your agreement to the terms and conditions of the EULA.
    2. this could be due to you selecting a trial subscription to the Creative Cloud?  If you go to one of the Adobe Creative products and select Help>Updates it will launch the update portion of the Adobe Application Manager which I believe is the portion you are looking for?
    #3 I believe this was already mostly covered in the answer to #2.
    #4 the Adobe Application Manager also receives periodic updates which affects both perpetual and Creative Cloud subscription users.
    I hope this provides you many of the answers you are looking for?  If not please feel free to respond back with any additional inquiries which you have.  Also if you are experiencing any difficulties with the update process please post this as well.  It may not be necessary to have a full understanding of the inner workings of the Adobe Application Manager to help you resolve your difficulties.

  • How to cycle thru blend modes within the Layer Style dialog??

    Hopefully, we all know you can use the Shift key and + or - to cycle through blend modes in the layers panel, as well as in various tools (like the Gradient tool or the Brush tool). A great way to quickly preview your blending options.
    But what about within the Layer Style dialog? This seems to the only situation where this shortcut does not work. Is there another shortcut or workaround that can be used here?
    I'm using Photoshop CS2 (on a Mac).
    Thanks,
    Doug D.

    That's a good point.
    I guess that Multiply (for Shadow) and Screen (for Glow) are really the "go to" blends for these effects, and including any other options beyond those is all just gravy.
    I'm just so addicted to using the Shift +/- shortcut and really like previewing blending changes that way... (But it would create a conflict within Bevel and Emboss, as you suggest.)

  • There is no 4g LTE option for the Helix

    I bought a Helix in May directly through a Lenovo gov/military sales rep to evaluate it for education and I am moderately happy with it.  I want to add a cellular mobile capability and the Lenovo tech I spoke to said there is only an Ericson 3G option for the Helix.    Anyone out there with a 4g LTE model? I thought there going to be  a Gobi 4g LTE chip available. 

    My recollection is that there was a LTE model briefly available but this was withdrawn due to some compatibility problems (I don't know the exact details). There were rumours that these would be resolved with a new LTE model released around August 2013 but as far as I know this never happened.

    This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to networks in general. It is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe:
    If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files.
    Working across a network in general is not supported by Adobe.
    See: 
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
      Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
        Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work.  It should.
        Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
      If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.

  • DIM-00035 You have entered and invlaid option for the -EDIT command

    Hi Experts,
    I am creating oracle instance using oradim utility. I am using oracle 9.2 on windows 2003 server.
    I have installed oracle 9.2 and created ORCL database as part of installation. Now I have deleted ORCL database using DBCA. Now I try to create a new DB instance.
    I ran the below command:
    c:\>oradim -NEW -SID <sidname> -SRVC OracleService<SID> -INITPWD <password> -pfile <pfilepath>
    I am getting the below error:
    DIM-00035 You have entered and invlaid option for the -EDIT command
    Please help me why I am getting this error even though I am creating new service.
    Thanks.

    The definition for INITPWD is:
    -INTPWD password is the password for the new instance. This is the password for the user logged in with SYSDBA privileges. Option -INTPWD is not required. If you do not specify it, then operating system authentication is used, and no password is required.
    The passwords for SYS and SYSTEM are created later - when the database itself is created. Nevertheless the error message is strange, there is no -EDIT option in the command. Moreover -NEW and -EDIT are mutually exclusive.

  • Mac mail - SSL option for the SMTP outgoing mail server - Help!

    Mac mail (Version 6.3 (1503)) will not let me "uncheck" the SSL option for the SMTP outgoing mail server - Help!
    Thanks!

    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    First, empty the Trash.
    Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl \) 2> /dev/null | wc -l
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.

  • When will Apple give the Battery Percentage option for the iPod?

    When will Apple give the Battery Percentage option for the iPod?

    It's hard to tell since Apple has never included it in all generations of the iPod and I assume you mean the iPod Touch.
    Apple could place it in the sixth generation iPod Touch but Apple has been pretty tight lipped on the possiblity of one coming. It's been since 2012 when the fifth generation arrived in the fall so the iPod lineup is due for an upgrade. Some reports say it won't come this year and others say different. But with the new iPhone expected to debut with larger screen it is still possible the new iPod will come with a larger screen alongside the new iPhone. It happened back in 2012.
    But no one really knows. Until then download an app to measure your battery percentage. I have battery doctor and it's really useful to determine how much battery my iPod has left and it also can clean up your memory and any junk files.
