Help!

I hate to bother you all, but you always have great explanations for everything.
Does anyone know how to get a stroke on the inside of a path rather than on the outside?

I learned how to add stitching and borders and stuff to my objects by rasterizing then selecting the path, and making it a work path.

The problem is that now, all of my "strokes" are on the outside instead of the inside. I changed from center to outside to inside, but that didn't make a difference either. Do you know what I can do to fix this???

Thanks in advance :-)

After you select the path go to Selcect> Modify> Contract and that will move your marching ants to the inside of the original selection. Hopefully this helps!

I'm not following exactly how you're making your stroke now. When I make mine I just select stroke on the effects panel (where the drop shadows are) and then change it to inside. I don't rasterize the layer or anything.

Thank you so much! I knew I was skipping a step!! That worked out wonderfully!! Thanks.

I'm not sure how to get the same effect using the layer effects options. I use this in order to get the stroke within an object like this:



This method can be used to make scalloped borders, stitching and so much more!
