[Award Winner] Antique-style maps in Photoshop

It may be a problem with your stroke (color, thickness, spacing?). Also, make sure you are setting Fill and not Opacity to 0%. When Opacity is 0%, the Blending Options (such as Stroke, Glow, etc) are also 0. When the Fill is 0%, the Blending Options still show normally.

I believe I found what I was doing... there's Edit>Stroke and Layer Style>Stroke, right? I used the Edit>Stroke and ss I understand it, they are different "types" of stroke...first should stroke the selection (and when I get Fill to 0% doesn't show) while the other supposedly should be the layer mask or something like that?

Edit>Stroke will stroke the line you have selected and nothing else. It makes a line that is just a line thereafter, so if you set Fill or Opacity to zero, it will not show.

Layer Style>Stroke will make a permanent border on the non-transparent part of the layer. If you modify the layer, the stroke automatically modifies with it. For that, setting the layer content to Fill=0 will still show the stroke, but setting it to Opacity=0 will hide the stroke as well.

Ah, yeah...that's what I was wondering. Thanks for claryfying it. Too bad I can't Rep you yet QQ
