Mike in Hinderwell Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I'm working on a document which is an album of photos. I always click to add a 0.5pt line around using Stroke. For no good reason I can see my latest images have a white stroke which of course does not show up. I've kept the file open, not clicked any updates and made no changes t setting s that I'm aware of. Screenshots attached, thanks in advance for any thoughts folk may have. I've attached screenshots of the page I'm having issues with along with two with black lines, the dates on one not causing the issue.

GarryP Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 It’s difficult to tell what’s going on from those screen-grabs - we can't see enough of 'what's going on'. What I can say is that any viewable Stroke applied to a Pixel layer will not be visible, whereas it would be visible with an Image layer. If that’s not the issue then we will need full-screen screenshots which include the Layers Panel with one of the ‘problem layers’ selected and visible in that panel.

Mike in Hinderwell Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 Thanks Garry. I'm pretty sure the photos are there as placed images, not aware of using layers. Do these screenshots help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Hinderwell Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 The difference I have seen comes on the Colour tab which shows white on the latest image although the CMYK seems to be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Thanks for the extra screenshots – they help to make things much clearer. Everything you add to a document is a layer. In your first screenshot (of the new ones) you can see there are eight layers, each of which is an Image layer. You can see the type of layer by hovering the mouse pointer over the icon to the left of the layer thumbnail. The problem is that (in the first of your latest screen-grabs) your Opacity for the Stroke is set to 0%, which is invisible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Hinderwell Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 Great, so simple! I should really have noticed that. I've checked and got it right, no idea how it got changed though between sessions working. Your help is really appreciated, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 You’re welcome. That sort of problem is very easy to have so it’s one of the first things to look at. Another similar problem can be with the Layer Opacity as that can be changed by simply pressing one of the numeric keys accidentally – for instance, pressing the zero key twice in quick succession can lead to the selected layer being invisible = 00% Opacity. Because of this, it’s always worth checking the Layer Opacity, in the Layers Panel, just to see if something unexpected has happened there.
