I used to be able to just select the picture with command click on the layer and expand the pixels to get my border. But in this case, since we're using the inside setting for the stroke, which squares out the tips, we could make it a big bigger and go to our layer pallete on the effects sub-layer, cntrl click (right click) and create layer for the effect to be on its own layer and move it behind the object stroked. Great quick tip in the video. Thanks for showing us the quick way to get sharper edges. This was a great tutorial, I’ve never understood why the outline would be rounded.
