Digital Scrapper Quick Tip, Styles
Choosing the Right Position for Your Stroke Style
In this quick video tip, I’ll show you how to choose the right position (Inside or Outside) for your stroke style based on what you’re applying the stroke to.
Quick Tips for Using a Stroke Style
- Set the Position of your stroke to OUTSIDE:
- When working with type or flat element layers, to apply a sticker-look to your layer, or to get nice rounded edges.
- Set the Position of your stroke to INSIDE:
- When working with photo or photo mask layers, to apply a vintage or matted look to your photo, or to get nice, crisp corners.
This tip works for both Photoshop Elements and Adobe Photoshop.

Thank you, Jen, for the helpful video and manuals. Will print out to help remind me how to use them.
Question, I use the Style tabs up by the layers, new layers panel. How do you know which ones to use? 50% -100% there are so many to choose from.

GREAT question, Jill. Most people just go with what they think looks good, but here is a post that might give you some guidance: https://www.digitalscrapper.com/blog/design-disasters-shadows/

Loved your tutorial. But how will I remember which is which? I think of -inside- as inside the house with straight walls and -outside- as of the Earth and our round planet.

That’s a very clever solution for remembering!
I think part of the remembering is just “remembering there’s an option.”

Thank you!

This is awesome, Jen! Somehow the only way I knew how to create a stroke was through the “Edit” menu! This opens up a whole new world, thank you!

This method is a lovely non-destructive option. However, the Menu Bar method also has its uses and strengths. ❤️ Glad I could teach you something new, Mari.
