I just did my photo, now I'll try the text... Aren't strokes the best? I honestly can only think of a few pages that I've ever done where I didn't use a stroke at some point.

SodScrap Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I just finished a layout that now I need to go back and add a stroke to the font in my title. NOW I know how to do that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SodScrap Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I like how it turns the font into word art! I had forgotten this trick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princessrunningfingers Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I haven't done the tutorial yet, but I use strokes all the time and love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anna Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 So - here are a couple things that I didn't include in the tutorial. You can just stroke a selection, you don't just have to put one around an item. You can draw a rectangle or oval using the marquee tool, make a new layer, and apply your stroke to that layer. Or if you want to put a stroke around a photo, but no actually attach it TO the photo layer, you can select the photo (CTRL+Click on the photo in the Layers Palette and it will put marching ants around your photo), make a new layer, and then make a stroke. That makes it easier to delete if you change your mind later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SodScrap Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I just added a stroke to the title in the layout I finished earlier today. I thought the font part needed something behind it but couldn't figure out what. Problem solved! I chose the color of the word art background that is in the title.

We were fine. It flooded the main streets around us but our neighborhood didn't flood at all. But the loss here has been pretty intense. Our church flooded and a lot of homes in my kid's school boundaries did as well. I am glad your daughter didn't flood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbaraj Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Here's mine with a font. It really sets fonts off doesn't it?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anna Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 So ladies, my monkeys are rioting instead of doing their chores. So I am going to go encourage them to scrub their bathrooms. But I will check in periodically if anyone has any questions about strokes. Or about anything else. Thank you all so much for coming! Have a great day!
