: How to add a solid black border around a layer when it is under a Hue/Saturation Layer in photoshop? I have a Layer which i have adjusted Hue/Saturation with a Hue Saturation Layer in CS

@Smith574

Group both the layer and adjustment layer into a layer group (or smart object if you prefer) and apply the stroke effect to that.

Just add an outer glow around it, change the glow's blend-mode type to "normal" so that you can use solid colors, select black, and set the opacity to 100% so that it's a truly "solid" color, then drag the "spread" all the way up and drag the "size" very very low so that it isn't a glow at all but instead just a strong solid black border of any thickness you want.

To have the border go on the inside if you needed just use an inner-shadow.

Based on comments....

Command/Ctrl-Shift-Click each layer thumbnail for the shapes (Layer 2, Layer, 3, layer 4 copy 2, etc.)

This will load each layers transparency as a selection. The Shift key will add to the current selection. So, with each Command/Ctrl-Shift-Click on a layer thumbnail, you should see the current selection grow by that layer's shape.

Do this for all the layers containing the shapes.

Now, New layer above the Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer.

Fill the selection with a color (any color)

Set the Fill to 0% on the Layers Panel.

Choose Layer > Layer Style > Stroke

Play with the stroke settings to get what you want.

That should do it if I understand what you're after.
