pplaut Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I have a white font on a darker background. How do I create a black outline for each letter? I'm still looking in the software. I know how to do this in other software Thanks for any advice. ~P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Apply a black colored stroke of some size to the font text.

Move Tool, select layer with text, Swatches panel - set Outline/Stroke color (not Fill color) to black, Stroke panel - stroke Width to nonzero value (Style must be Solid line).

They may add this option eventually but so far it has not even made it to the current 2.2.0 beta.

pplaut Posted July 28, 2023 Author Share Posted July 28, 2023 Thanks a million, fellers... In typical Plaut fashion, I made it harder than it needs to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
