Why cant I add a stroke on text?

[wartaalw17449574]

Hi guys,

very strange but sometimes when I want to add a stroke to a text it only allows me to use the last color I used. I have dublicated the text, add extra layers but for some reason it wont allow to choose the color myself. Could you guys plz tell me what I do wrong. I have attached the Photoshop file.

thank you for your help.

Hi wartaalw17449574 :

The dialog box has a confusing interface. You have the checkmark on for Stroke, but you have Blending Options active (blue background). Click the word Stroke/Lign and you will be able to edit the color.

barb thank you for the fast reply. But I think i was not precise enough. Even when I click on the box you mentioned. The interface of which i made the printscreen stays the same. Usually there should appear then a color box, so that I can choose my own color, but that doesnt appear. What am i doing wrong?

I'm trying to say that you need to click the word stroke to get the highlight behind it, and that will give you access to the color chip:

But, note how many times Stroke/Lign appears in the list? Use the trashcan to remove all but one. Then edit that one.
