Photoshoping in After Effects
Posted on 20. Mar, 2007 by Jerzy Drozda Jr in After Effects
Have you ever missed Photoshop blending options like stroke, drop shadow, or gradient overlay when working with After Effects?
Click here to watch the video tutorial
Many Photoshop users who just switched to After Effects complain about lack of blending options, especially the lack of stroke effect. Of course there is a Stroke effects in After Effects, but it works in different way than they’re used to.
To help all you Photoshopers out there I’ve prepared few presets, than will enable you to work in After Effects the same way you work in Photoshop.
Just go ahead and download the preset. After downloading make sure to unpack it to your After Effects preset directory, that by default is: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 7.0\Support Files\Presets.These presets include:
- Stroke effect
- Drop shadow (with Spread parameter)
- Gradient overlay
I wanted to put there Bevel and Emboss effect also, but there’s no need to make a preset for that, because all you have to do is to apply Alpha Bevel on a layer and you’ll get the same effect you’d get in Photoshop.

Stroke effect is just what I need to create sharp corners but CE Color Solid seems to be obsolete. Know any other effects which perform a fill with a “blend with orginal” option??

Una pregunta soy de peru y me llamo danny, espero que puedan ayudarme gracias de ante mano, descarge los preset pero no me funciona el PS_Stroke, cada vez que lo aplico a una capa en after me sale un error que me dice “ESTE FAVORITO CONTIENE 1 REFERENCIA O UN EFECTO NO EXISTENTE. INSTALE EL EFECTO SIGUIENTE PARA RESTAURAR ESTA REFERENCIA. (CE COLOR SOLID)”, bueno ese es el mensaje que me sale, espero que puedan ayudarme por favor les agradesco de ante mano. saludos desde peru. bye bye.

Rather than having a stable lever from which to push off, the jogger having a flat foot is usually all but attached to the floor by way of “bag of delinquent bones, just about every proceeding its way and also leading to the fewer limb for you to switch inwards during the foot position section connected with running” (Noakes, 1992).

It is my individual viewpoint but I just do not see how you can help save funds getting fake Oakleys time and time yet again as opposed to paying for genuine ones a single time.
