Endless Loop Senior Member Tomatometer 1129 Posts 8/04	Posted - Dec 22 2005 : 4:25AM Is it as tricky to outline somthing in PhotoShop as it appears, or am I overlooking a simple command? In my other Adobe program (simplified), Its as easy as selecting a shape, or object, and clicking "outline". Just tired of opening up another app, for a few tasks that Photoshop appears determined to associate with complex parameters. Thanks! [Link]

Click to expand Hmmm, I think the first method was the tricky one I spoke of. In all honesty, I've never used the stroke effect. The latter technique sounds easy enough, especially for basic outlining of rectangular images. Thanks Steph! Edited by - Endless Loop on 12/22/2005 6:43:10 PM [Link]

Geez, as often with Photoshop, some things just need to be pointed out or referenced, because chances are, your never gonna simply stumble across them otherwise. i still prefer the stroke method for its flexibility. layer > effects > stroke! Click to expand Under layer, I don't see "effects" However edit > stroke brings up the dialog box? As for flexibility are you referring to the ability to adjust blending and opacity? Its definitely automated, and probably a must for batch processing, but for now, I'm ok with some manual adjusting. seems like a boatload of commands, parameters, and steps to recall. The modify > border function works superb! Impressive Steph, your the PS Guru!! Edited by - Endless Loop on 12/23/2005 4:52:15 AM [Link]

Adult DVD Talk at your service. 6409 Posts 11/99	Posted - Dec 24 2005 : 6:14PM yeah, edit > stroke - i was using imageready at the time, which is slightly different. the flexibility is that if you change the layer shape/size/whatever the outline changes with it. if you go with the select border thing you can't then change the layer and outline easily. i'm not sure what you mean by batch processing, but if you are doing any of that make sure to look into actions and droplets. my work would take me 100 times longer without my actions and droplets. i did a quick online tutorial to learn them (as well as many other photoshop tricks.) some people play computer games i make pictures :) [Link]
Endless Loop Senior Member Tomatometer 1129 Posts 8/04	Posted - Dec 30 2005 : 6:39PM I've experimented with actions in the past, and found them extremely useful, particularly with Image Ready and .GIF animation. Unfortunately, not always with success, as nearly everything for me in PS, has arduously came through trial and error. Could you suggest any tutorials that would be of benefit, without a versed working knowledge of PS's endless jargon? Playing with pictures, has outlived the extent of my gaming interests. [Link]

Endless Loop Senior Member Tomatometer 1129 Posts 8/04	Posted - Dec 31 2005 : 12:05AM Thanks Steph, You've made outlining far easier than I ever would have expected, and as I run across other technical blockades with this software I'll be certain to post again. As for Adobe's site, its been my experience ever since I picked up PS7 some time ago, that its best to look elsewhere. Maybe its just been my experience, but trying to navigate the site for tutorials, that break it down into quick vanilla reference, containing any kind of intuitive, straightforward, basics that apply to me, has been like trying to find hardcore anal, with intriguing plot development.

picman Senior Member Nothing says I love you so much as a tongue in the ass. 2884 Posts 1/03	Posted - Dec 31 2005 : 6:50PM Endless, Adobe has always published Classroom in a Book for their products. It's a great way to get started in Photoshop and it shouldn't be too difficult to track down copies for older iterations of the program. After that, it's best to go for the more specialized tutorials. In other words, creating original art, retouching, web, etc. As you can see just by all the ways to "outline" something, there's almost never one right way to do things, and some are just a matter of taste and comfort.

Endless Loop Senior Member Tomatometer 1129 Posts 8/04	Posted - Jan 1 2006 : 2:05AM Thanks picman, I'll check that out. Hey picman, i don't suppose you could recommend any tear jerkers, based around gaping anals, would you? [Link]
