Question:
Hey, how do I create a grey rectangle with a black line border, on Photoshop CS4?
Answer:
I would just create two layers, one black, one grey, and then use the select tool to select most of the black one (leaving a border) and then delete it

I mean isn't that ridiculous?
- oneplusone 16y agoNo actually. It is the reason Photoshop is number one. It is an incredibly powerful tool because it doesn't try and tell you how to do things. I personally wouldn't do it that way most of the time, but there is situations where that is the best solution.
- jamesteow 16y agoIt's ridiculous because it's the worse advice. Create a rectangle object. Step 1: Select the rectangle tool Step 2: Draw the rectangle and edit color. Step 3: Double click on the layer to open Edit Layer Style Step 4: Select stroke and edit size, and color. Done. I could do that in less than 20 seconds.
- matt1 16y agoThe fact that we're even arguing it is what makes it ridiculous :)
