adding stroke to placed image

[simon_biddell@adobeforums.com]

This is probably a really dumb question, but I'm not really an Illustrator user.

I place an image - tiff - and I'd like to apply a stroke. No command available on right clicking (like Indesign) so I use the stroke menu window and still I can't apply a stroke to the placed image. Doh! Any clues...?

Simon,

add a new stroke through the appearance palette (-> Flyout menu). Then go to Effect > Convert to shape > Rectangle. Set the desired values and create a graphic style out of it. Now you can apply strokes to placed images with a single click.
