CS3 Question regarding Stroke

[Sharon Kay]

I am wondering...in CS3 when you have a layer highlighted and you choose STROKE ... mine has a default color of RED. Can you changed that default color to ffffff (white) so it comes up with it as white every time?

Thanks.

I'd love to know the answer to this one myself. That red gets irritating after awhile. LOL

Yes it does! ...and why would anyone "program" RED to be a default for that???

i'm not sure, but you could always just make a custom layer style of your own (using white).

Yeah, I don't know of a way to do it so it's automatic, either...but I do what Linz suggested. I've got 2 sizes of strokes that I use regularly in my layer styles.

Now, why in the world didn't I ever think of that? That's genius!

that sounds like a great idea. I would never want that bright red stroke! I'm not the best at making actions, but I should try that sometime.

Susan, it's not an action, it's a layer style...when you're in the popup screen where you play with the styles, there should be a "save this style" option...easy as pie. :)

When we made siggies, this was an absolute nuisance, and we couldn't find a way to change it.

I did what the others did, and just made a style for it. Easy peasy!

Last I read, there is still no way to change the default setting, so you might want to just make your own layer style as was suggested.

[Sharon Kay]

I'm not sure how to do this...does it work like the stroke feature?...changing the size to fit around the photo or paper? ...or around an alpha??? please????

Sharon, the "new style" button is right under "okay" and "reset" when you go to add a stroke ;) If you have a style you like, you can just hit that button and it will add it to your style palette, so next time you can just select it directly from your palette (which I always have up). I never use the color codes, I'm much too lazy, I just drag the cursor to the upper left. If you want the stroke to be different sizes, you have to manually change it or save several styles. There is no way other way for PS to know what your intended stroke width is.
