Outer Glow not working as expected.

[Doug123abc]

Hi Friends,

I have created a simple live art rectange and I am applying an Outer Glow to it.

The problem I am having is that the Outer Glow is appearing inside, as well as, outside the rectangle.

How can I have the outer glow appear only on the outside? (I thought it would do this by default)

Thank you.

Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Properties, Options Bar, …) visible?

Did you apply a Feather to the Shape Path? 

[Doug123abc]

No, I didn't.  Just the outer glow.

And it seems to work as expected and intended or does the Shape Layer have a Fill? 

By partially hiding the Layers Panel you made it impossible to tell and you omitted the Properties Panel from the screenshot … what is so hard about posting a meaningful screenshot? 

Also: Which version of Photoshop is that?

Hi there,

1.  I did try a file on the rectangle, but it doesn't respect the rounded corners.

2.  Whoa, sorry.  I've attached another screamshot.

3.  Photoshop CS6 & Photoshop CC

4.  I don't want the glow on the inside of the rectangle.  I thought "Outer" meant outer, but I suspect I'm wrong?

Thank you for your help.

Does the Layer have a Fill? 

Did CS6 even have Fill and Stroke for Shape Layers? 

Please post a screenshot with teh Direct Selection Tool selected so we can see the Layer’s settings in the Options Bar.

Sorry for all the confusion.  That did it!  Thank you.  Beer?  Clink.

When I turned on the direct selection tool I saw the option to fill the shape and it worked fine.

Thanks again!
