Stroke layer effects set to "Multiply"
when designing web, give text boxes thin, 1-pixel stroke of darker color box itself. i've noticed when using stroke layer style options, setting position attribute "inside" , blend mode "multiply" has undesirable effect of multiplying border color background, instead of multiplying border color box color (see figure 1). seems bug me. way have found achieve result i'm looking create duplicate shape above box layer, set fill 0%, , apply stroke effect layer (see figure 2). know of way accomplish in 1 layer? know set blend mode "normal" , choose darker color explicitly, want layer style portable, can use on boxes of color , have resulting stroke darker shade of color.
i using photoshop cs4 on mac.
use inner glow choke set 100%. sufficiently mimics stroke , gives blending desire.
