Question about Stroke

Hey Gang,

Here's a quick one.

I use the Marquis tool. Draw a circle. Right click and apply stroke.

No problems so far.

But what if I want to apply a feather to the stroke?

Thanks!

If you do the stroke that way, the stroke will be bitmap, so you cant really feather it I dont think. You could try feathering the selection before you add the stroke - might work. Or just blur it afterwards. Or you could make a shape will fill opacity 0% and then add an outer glow with the layer styles - then its always editable. But Im not completely sure what youre asking - if this isnt helpful then you might want to elaborate in your description. :D

Hey thanks..

Nope - I think that will answer it fine.

I'm kinda migrating from working only in Fireworks to now using Photoshop. As a result, I'm kinda having to look at a thing and think in slightly different terms. But I think that clears it up.

Sure wish I could take both of these proggies and "jam" them together. lol But man - I'm now finally understanding, I think, why PS has such a huge following. I'm lovin this thing! Finally starting to get past that excruciating intro-learning curve anyone gets when first starting out on a really good (complex?) piece of software too.

Not that I can really "use it well" now. Just that intro learning curve.

Whew! HAs this thing ever got buttons.. lol :D

So - again thanks. These little tips really help a lot.

Cheers!
