Hello,

i am creating several rectanlges of different layers whilst creating a webpage layout.

The issue is, on a few occasions i have forgot to add a stroke to the rectangles. When i go back it does not allow me to add the stroke, how can i re-select the rectangle?

thanks

If your creating layers in Photoshop, why not create a stroke using the layer style?

If you want to select the layer marquee style, hold down "control" and click on the layer, a selection will be made for that layer.

Did you not make separate layers for each box. If you didnt you pretty much should just start over. You are familiar with the layer system in PS, right?

What do you think this is?

i am aware of the layers and every change i create on a new layer.

the situation is for my website which i think you have seen is that for each cointente box i created a new layer and then on that layer i used the marquee tool to create the content areas.

What i found was that if i added the fill and stroke option and then resized and positioned the content areas that the borders became thicker but not consistent around the area.

What i decided to do was create the cntent area with the marquee tool and fill, then resize and reposition the rectangle then i was gonna add the stroke so that it was 1px all the way round, how ever i cannot re-select the rectangle created with the marquee tool but can select the layer which when i change the stroke seems to change the a layer that covers the whole of the canvas.

Where am i going wrong, tried to read up about the marquee tool but nothing i have seen realy helps with this situation.

thanks
