Strange Frame behaviour (overprint option request for Outline layer FX)


Recommended Posts

Thanks j3rry. This is working as I'm expecting - see attached video (on Mojave). Are you saying the green area is becoming transparent for you when you change the Opacity of the Outline FX? Seems you are using macOS Big Sur - give me a minute to check there as well.

@MEB,

as you have seen in your video the green area is becoming transparent, but i have expect that only the frame is becoming transparent.

In your file you have the Alignment set to Inside, which places the outline over the green area and thus that (common) part becomes transparent if that's you are referring to. I guess you were expecting it to become semi-transparent showing some of the green passing through the outline - is that what you are referring to?
If you set the Alignment to outside and adjust the canvas size accordingly it will not affect the green area.

In PS i see no transparency when i apply a similar fx. The goal was to apply a „light“ frame around the picture. I think that the behaviour is not correct, but thats only my view.

Is this the effect you want?

If so, just do what you are doing but do it on a duplicated background layer

Ok thanks Carl, but this will increase the size of the afphoto file.

But most of the cases i have a unmodified layer which i duplicate on startup.
