: Editing photoshop images in illustrator I edited a b/w image in photoshop with the effects gallery and saved it. I opened up illustrator and placed it behind some text I created. Now I'm trying

It's a bit of a pain to do this. You could always create empty rectangles the same size as your images and then apply the styles/strokes to those, but I'll guide you through adding strokes to the images below


Select the image you wish to add a stroke to and open the Appearance Panel
Click Add New Stroke, located at the bottom left of the panel (it looks like a hollow square)




You can edit the stroke properties, but nothing will appear. To get the stroke to show, you need to create a shape.


Select the stroke effect in the Appearance Panel and then go to FX > Convert to Shape > Rectangle




You can add an offset, if you want some white space. Otherwise, make sure Extra Width and Extra Height are both 0



Edit your stroke by clicking on it in the Appearance Panel

You need to make sure that the image/psd is embedded before you can perform actions on it.
