See attached video. I just want to add a stroke to the images in my AI project but the stroke never shows. What's wrong? How do I get the stroke to show?
This is just the tip I've been looking for. It worked perfectly with an image I needed to outline. I was dreading having to draw a rectangle the same size because the image was also skewed in the layout, and I'd have had to match that as well. This worked great. Thanks so much!
Pixel-based images placed or embedded into an Adobe Illustrator document can't have strokes added directly to them. Even tricks with the Appearance panel don't work. The solution is creating a box the same size as the pixel-based image, applying a stroke to that box and then aligning it to the image. Move the box behind the image if the line stroke needs to be set behind the image.
