Do you have Auto Select Layer unchecked?

Yeah, that happens if you have a layer of colour or some textures or whatever on the layers above it. Put the layers above it on invisible and then you can move the render. It's annoying, but that's the way I do it.

Yeah, it is annoying, but it's only happened just recently.

shrug

I'll look for it. Sounds familiar.

When you have the arrow selected, it's an option below File, Edit, View, etc. There's a wee box you can check and uncheck.

*A year Later*

I'll have to check that out. hmm

And speaking of Long waits..

Once you upload the new sig you need to take the code that is provided and replace it over your last one in the Edit Profile.

I find it easer just to create a new layer, fill it full with white then change the layer setting to multiply then add the stroke.

Why would you fill it with white? 😕

You could just stroke the layer...

The stroke will not show up on a transparent layer, you need to have color on that layer to stroke.

No, you don't. Ctrl + A, Edit > Stroke

Voila.

Never done it that way, I was refering to the Layer Style Stroke, didn't know that there was that other stroke. 🙂 "Now I know and knowing is half the battle" 😄
