I don't know if this is advanced, but how do you quickly make a rectangle with dotted stroke in Photoshop?

I am trying to emulate rectangles from http://www.davidcarson.com

So far I've been jumping back and forth from Illustrator and this is getting tiring.

Thanks!

I'd use CSS for that. If you have non-stright edges, then you'll have a problem. If not, then use this:
.class{border:dotted 1px black;}

in your stylesheet.

Thanks for the tip!

How about in Photoshop, though, for the mock-up?

create a brush with the same width gaps as the brush is wide. Then make a path with the pen tool and right click on it, choose stroke path and select the paintbrush (with your new brush already selected on the paintbrush tool).

I think you can do the same thing with selections instead of paths, try it.

I've recently done this - but my method was not as nice as devlkore's. I basically selected my object, created a new layer for it, created a layer behind it, did Select > Modify > Expand by X pixels, then used the eraser to cut bits out - but as I said. Messy way of doing it.
