FarleyBen Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 I'm using the stroke function under the Edit menu in Photoshop to create a thin border of 3 pixcel thickness around my photographs in preparation for use in Slideshow.The photographs have been sized to 1024 x 768 and the stroke set to inside.Although the lines are clearly discernable in Photoshop, when played in the slide show the top horizontal and right side vertical line are either much thinner or not there at all.I'm stumped, appreciate any help.Thank you.Trev C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maureen Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Hi TrevTry putting a stroke of 6 pixel width in your colour eg yellow.Then add a second stroke of 3 pixels in black Both borders set to inside, with mode set to normal and opacity at 100%.The yellow will then stand out all around your image.Sometimes the opacity is set lower than 100% and if the border is set to inside, as the border colour goes over part of the image the border will appear fainter or darker depending on the colour belowLet me know if this improves things. I'm using Photoshop CS - which version do you use?Hope this helps.Best wishesMaureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keffs Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 What screen res are you using? I add strokes, and they show up no problem, but the images are less than screen res. If they are the same as screen res, then its possible that the edges of teh screen are missing.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maureen Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 What screen res are you using?Do you mean screen res or screen size Steve?Screen resolution changes depending on your source of viewer e.g. monitor or projector, etc .BW Maureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarleyBen Posted July 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Steve,My screen res on my computer is set to 1024 x 768, when I use PTE I set the slide size to 90%, so I should see the edges that I see in Photoshop, but I don't!Trev C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronwil Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 TrevI have followed Maureen's step-by-step instructions in Photoshop 7.01 and used your 90% sizing in PTE and it has worked perfectly. Are you sure that in the Stroke settings you are using Location>Inside and that you set the Image size in Photoshop at 1024x768?Ron [uK] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarleyBen Posted August 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 Ron,Yes, location is inside and image size set to 1024 x768. When I use a larger stroke selection, 5 pixels for example, the line is there in PTE but on some slides it is not uniform on all sides. I have noticed a similar problem in the slide show "My Little Friend", some of the slides in portrait mode have no edge on the right hand side.Regards,Trev C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
