Stroking Basics
Photoshop allows us to outline objects and
have a stroke follow along any selection.

Select the Rectangular Marquee or the

Radial Marquee and make a selection.

Select Black as the foreground (The color

that is your foreground color will be the color
of your stroke).

Next go to Edit>Stroke. We can stroke

up to 16 pixels. We can also choose a
location of where we need to stroke: Inside,
Center or Outside of our selection. I choose 2
Pixels, Inside for location and clicked ok.

Here’s another one you can try. You can

also stroke objects with out a selection:
I made a new layer and created several filled
circles with the Radial Marquee tool. Then
choose black as the foreground color and
went to Edit>Stroke and choose 2 for Pixel
width and clicked ok.
