Give you users of Photoshop software a detailed analysis of the path strokes in the shape layer.
In many line icons, this path stroke has an absolute advantage (subjectively).
Path strokes no longer specifically consider the closure and closure of paths (except for gradient strokes and pattern strokes), you can add a path stroke as long as it is a path.
Let's talk about several properties of path strokes. As with the path fill, there are four properties, 1, no strokes, 2, solid strokes, 3 gradient strokes, 4, pattern strokes
Gradients and pattern strokes have no actual value to use, but don't dwell on them.
What is worth saying is the stroke option, and the second one is the specific function of the option.
More alignment, endpoint, and corner points are used. Very well understood, three pictures tell you
Alignment, that is to say the stroke color and path alignment, in the Fill path stroke value is as far as possible to fill in even, so that in the middle of the alignment is not the second pixel.
Endpoints, used in the closed path, the beginning and end of a path, or both ends.
Corner point is the shape at the corner of the path.
For example, the left side is the stroke in the layer style, the outside is selected, and the path stroke is external to the right, and the corner point is rounded.
The same 40 stroke value, the left side obviously does not have the right fine.
In this case, you probably already know the pros and cons of the two are bad. For example, when you select an outer stroke, the layer style cannot select the stroke shape, but the default fillet and is not fine.
Path strokes I thought so much
Okay, the above information is small make up to you photoshop this software users of the detailed shape of the path in the form layer to explain all the content of the share, you see the users here, I hope that the small series of the above tutorial can bring useful help.
