Add stroke or outline to a texture filled font


Recommended Posts

I would like to add an outline or stroke to a word that I have filled with design using "mask to back" because I would like the word stand out more. Is there a way to do that? I've tried a few different things with not luck.

Thank you

I appreciate any help

Hi jmca62,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

With the text selected in the Layers panel, go to the context toolbar on top and click the Stroke colour well to pick a colour (almost on the right end). You can adjust the with of the stroke from the width popover there too. If you are not seeing these controls click the >> symbol on the righ end of the context toolbar to display them as a popover.

Why not try layer effects too? You can do all sorts of fancy outlines and borders to really make it stand out. Lines, gradients, shadows etc.
