neato learn something new everyday, this is my top thing for the day so far.
Wow I always was ignoring the layer group function but now after watching this 5 tips tutorial I’ll be deploying it much more often in my workflow.
This was very interesting! It caught my attention because I had a BMW 2002 sedan (with sunroof) I always thought it had very good design.
@John, ok, so about the multiple stroke in one shape, that would be great, but somehow, I think there are a bug that made any “un-closed” stroke auto-close when you add another one 🙁

So, the work around is to use one shape per “open stroke” and group them to apply any eventual common styling. Works but not as simple as just having the stroke not doing the auto-connect.
Julieanne Kost – never fails to impress…

@John, if you have time, I would love to get you take on the “auto-close” stroke mentioned above. I think it is a bug, but I might be missing something.
Hi Jeremy,
The team is looking into the reported issue.
@Jeffrey, thank you for the update. This is all I wanted to hear.
Photoshop Rocks! and this is coming from a developer 😉

The video above is missing and I am told to upgrade my version of Flash when I view this post in Safari without the Flash plugin. However, if I “lie” and set my user agent to iPad it plays just fine.
Why not do ‘browser sniffing’ to right way and check what my browser CAN do not what it can’t?
I never know about this function. This video is great.
Thanks for the post!
I’ve been using Photoshop for years and have considered myself an advanced user, but I’ve always ignored the layer group function. I just never really saw the point! I do now! Thanks so much for the great tip!
[Cool! My pleasure. –J.]
