Scale Strokes & Effects in Photoshop CS5

The Scale Strokes & Effects-option used to reside in the Preferences dialog box.
Seems like it has been removed in CS5, anyonene know why, or where a simmilar function
may be found?
Thing is, when i add a Stroke (Layer Effect) to a layer, the thickness stays the same when I
transform/resize(ctrl-T) that layer. I really need the border to shrink accordingly as shown in
the image below.
A workaround would be to convert the layer to a Smart Object, but when working with all too many
layers, it's more about saving time.

Don't remember seeing such an option in Preferences. You are getting confused with Illustrator.

  • Is there a way to temporarily disable "Scale strokes & effects"?

    I want to be able to scale some charts without changing the stroke size. But I don't want this preference permanently changed. Is there a key to hold down so that when I enlarge the charts that the stroke size stays the way it is? Thanks...
    julie

    Julie,
    Why go to the preferences?
    I suggested your using the Transform palette flyout and tick/untick Scale Strokes & Effects there.
    And you can scale up using the Transform palette by adding *2 and *2.5 in the W or H box and Ctrl/Cmd+Enter, so you can keep everything there.
    It also has the easy option of deciding where to scale from by selecting the relevant Reference Point.

  • Setting a Custom Scale and Measuring in Photoshop CS5 Extended | No Stupid Questions with Colin Smith | Adobe TV

    The measurement tool in Photoshop CS5 Extended can accurately measure distance, area and angels in your image but did you know that you can customize the scale that you measure? Colin will show you have to use these tools and accurately measure the height of our stand-in criminal Karl Miller. Also covered will be out to print our 1:1 so that measurements can be taken from printed outputs.

  • How do I achieve this effect in Photoshop CS5?

    Hi all,
    I'm using Photoshop CS5 and I'd like to know how can I achieve the following effect: I have a full color picture of a woman, like the one below, and I would like to replicate this effect in which the full color woman is blended with the background turning her into purple and black only.
    I'm a newbie, and I am not too familiar with the 'channels' concept, so I would appreciate some specific reply -not necessarily step-by-step but almost, lol!
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Instead of using channels, you can convert your image to black and white then create a new layer and fill that layer with your color of choice, then either use the blend modes and/or reduce the opacity until it looks good to you.
    Another way is use the black and white adjustment layer and enable the colorize check box and choose purple.
    If I recall the hue/saturation/luminance adjustment layer also has a colorize check box. (I would check but I am in the process of redoing my drive)

  • How can I get this effect in Photoshop CS5.1?

    I want to turn a real image like http://bit.ly/pEx1ol
    into something like http://bit.ly/nfkoa4
    Is there a way to do that or do I have to start from scratch?

    Just fooling around with your image, using Stylize - Trace Contour to find significant lines, then filling the spaces with a color sampled from within the spaces, I came up with this in a few minutes.  Kind of a "paint by numbers" rendition.  This doesn't look much like your stylized cat illustration, though.

  • Why doesn't Photoshop CS5 automatically scale strokes and effects?

    I am looking everywhere for why Photoshop CS5 doesn't automatically scale strokes and effects. I could've sworn there was a preference in CS4 but there's nothing resembling this in CS5. Driving me crazy!
    Whenever I do a Free Transform, the effects are completely out of whack and force me to waste time resetting them individually, layer by layer. I used to be able to grab any object or group of objects, do a transformation and Photoshop automatically recalculated. If anyone has a tip on how to avoid the annoyance of having to go layer by layer and forcibly adjusting that would be great.

    Layer style effect setting are in absolute pixel size values so if you change the scale of a layer the style size remains the same. You can edit the layers style effects after tou do a transform on the layer and change the absolute setting. If the layer has been rastersized or flattened you can not. I have request that Adobe add support for relative settings like inches, cm, mm etc which is relative to the documents dpi resolution. This would be very helpful for recording actions. 
    However photoshop can scale existing layer style for you when you use Image Size there is a check box.  If you need to scale a single layer and have its style scaled you need to do it in a round about way. Convert the layer to a smart object. Then instead of using transform double click on the layser smart object icon in the layers palette.  Photoshop will open that layer embedded smart object in Photoshop for you to work on it.. Use Image Size to resize the layer up or down in size and check resample constrain and the scale style check box.  Then use menu File>Save.  Photoshop will then update the embedded smart object in the smart object layer and you can close the document Photoshop opened for you to work on the smart object.

  • Adobe photoshop cs5 stroke problems

    Dear Adobe Team,
    We are using adobe Photoshop CS5 in our HP Workstation machine, but since we changed our OS in windows 7 we are facing stroke problems.
    Like whenever we draw a straight stroke than it does not go straight it becomes curve type. Please find the below attached image of stroke.
    We are using cintiq Pen display & HP z420 workstation.
    So requesting you to kindly provide the solution ASAP

    Well, works perfectly here... (PSElements 6 “Mac”)...
    Select your image or specify an area...
    Go to Filter / Render / Lighting Effect.../ and specify your desired options...
    If that doesn’t work, delete the preference file...
    If that doesn’t work either, you might have to reinstall PS Elements...
    Regards

  • Photoshop CS5 content-aware scale

    Hi, I'm a photoshop CS5.1 64 bits user, I'm following the "Learn adobe photoshop CS5 by video" with the instructor  Kelly McCathran. Well, I need to know how to create two layers with different sizes to apply content-aware scale...I can't! I import a picture (4000x3000) from adobe bridge...When I create a layer with a different dimension (3000x2000) the picture (4000x3000) turns to (3000x2000)!!! What am I supposed to do?

    With the smaller image appearing with the larger one in Photoshop, click on the smaller image in its Layers panel and drag it over the larger image.
    Once the smaller image is sitting on top of the larger one in the Layers panel, you can change the size of the smaller image by using Edit > Transform > Scale.
    Hold down the Shift key as you alter the scale, the image maintains proportion.

    Not sure if anyone can help but I have a copy of Photoshop CS5.1. Ever since it was installed, every now and again when I try do something simple like save a file or scale something using the Transform tool, in fact anything at all it comes up with "Could not complete your request because of a program error". Have thought about re-installing  it but I have lost my serial number.  I'm living in Ireland and trying to get to talk to someone in tech support is a complete joke. Any ideas what to do ? Thanks

  • What is wrong with the stroke in Photoshop CS5??

    The stroke tool (in the edit menu as well as the stroke effect) is a bit screwed up in CS5!! It renders really jaggy. Is this something that Adobe will fix soon?
    thanks;
    J.

    Hi;
    Thanks for the replies. I apologize for the "emotional" post. I should have provided more detail. I'm using PSD CS5 12.0.2 on a Mac Pro, running 10.6.7. I recently was upgraded to CS5, so yesterday was my first day using CS5. So to my dismay, a simple thing like stroking an object was not working as expected. I typically use shape layers, and stroke them with a stroke effect (although this issue is visible by stroking from the edit menu). I believe the image I attached showcases this issue. The black circle is a simple circle shape layer. The red stroke is visibly "jagged" and not a perfect circle.  So not sure what is going on with my setup or if this is a preference or setting that needs to be turned on or off. Appreciate any insight.
    thanks;
    John

  • Is it possible to apply a stroke effect to a Photoshop image in After Effects?

    Hello,
    I've imported an image (a maze) from Photoshop into AE, and I want the image to appear as if it's being drawn in using the Stroke animation.  Is it possible to apply some kind of path along which the image can "fill in"--similar to how you can do this with text?  I didn't see a way to convert the image into a shape layer on which I could apply the Stroke effect, either.
    Thanks to everyone who's been so helpful in these forums--I've gotten a lot of questions answered by y'all!
    meredith

    Followed everything you said up until using the solid as a track matte, where I got a little confused.
    The effect worked more or less how I wanted when I set the starting value of the stroke at 100% and set track matte of my original image to Alpha Inverted.  When I did this, it gave the effect that the solid was disappearing to reveal the original image, if that makes any sense. 
    Is there anyway to adjust the brush shape?  Right now it is a circle, is it possible to change it into a square?  The circle brush gives an awkward edge line as the lines of the image begin to appear with the stroke effect.
    Thanks!

  • Photoshop cs5 liquify filter shows no effect until after clicking OK

    I"m using photoshop cs5 and the liquify filter dosen't show any effect until after I've clicked ok. I've checked, and unchecked "show backdrop" and the opacity is set to 100%. I'm stumped.

    I solved my own problem. I reset my preferences by closing photoshop, then re-starting the program while holding ctrl-alt-shift. I then unchecked "show backdrop."
