Please add an option to enable overprint for the stroke fill of a shape. This is useful when you need the shape’s color to remain visible beneath a transparent stroke. It would also help simulate a contour highlight or gloss effect similar to the new iOS style.

    A layer blend mode of Multiply or Darken is often used in Photoshop to produce a similar effect to object level overprint as found in illustration or page layout apps.

      No, that’s not it. What you’re suggesting is a workaround. I need real transparency in the shape’s stroke.

      @Stephen Marsh Overprint is an object level property that doesn’t exist in Photoshop. Multiply blend mode generally has the same end result. Blend modes and opacity create transparency.

       

      This is a feature request, I’m just covering what is currently possible in a raster editing environment compared to illustration or page layout.

       

      Can you clarify what you’re looking for in a new feature?

       

      Do you mean for compositing in Photoshop, or when the file is placed in other software and it then interacts with elements in the other application.
