Outline Text Effect in Photoshop

Step 1 To begin, we are going to start with a New Document. I started with a new canvas shaped 500×200. The background doesn’t matter at this point.

Step 2 Start off with typing out your text. I choose yellow text, but the font- color is something that can be changed at anytime.

Step 2

Step 3 To add a customized outline to your text, We are first going to create a new layer. Move this newly created layer, behind your text layer.

Step 3

Step 4 Now that we have created a new layer, we are now going to make a selection around your text layer. To do this, we are going to hold down Ctrl, and click on the text-layer icon. (the little image on the left side of your layer.) At this point, your text should be selected. Go Select Modify Expand. Enter 2px.

Step 5 You should now see the selection around the text expand outwards by 2px. Next, pick a color you would like to outline your text with, and fill in the new layer. I choose black. You can use the brush or bucket

Step 5

Step 6 This outline effect also works with other colors and gradients. Different Fonts. It will also work for your logos and buttons. There are many things you can use this photoshop text effect for. I probably use this outline effect more than any other photoshop effect.
