Layer Style vs.<br />
Vector Strokes<br />

If you want the absolute best quality strokes,<br />
and you’re using Photoshop CS6, then add a<br />
vector stroke directly to your Shape Layer<br />
rather than as a Layer Style. Not only are they<br />
better quality (more noticeable at thicker<br />
widths), but you have the option to use<br />
rounded, square, or bevelled edges, as well as<br />
dashed outlines. Another useful feature is that<br />
they can be scaled to half pixels, so if you’re<br />
designing for iOS you can set a non-Retina<br />
stroke to 0.5px which will then scale up to 1px<br />
when the size is doubled for Retina.<br />
