I did this before in PSE but was wondering if I could do it in Affinity Photo.  I can't remember how I even did it in PSE. I just need to create an outline around the text so that it stand out against a shape.  I remember I had to convert text to curves, select, expand, and then at some point delete from selection... but I'm lost.  Thanks for any help!

Wow :o

You don't need to do any of that :)

Type some Artistic text.

Set the stroke to white, pink or something.

Adjust the Stroke width by dragging on the slider.

Note: Some of the  text tools may be off the edge of the screen, depending on your monitor size. So you may have to click the arrow thing

Thanks so much!  That is a lot easier!  It worked well with text like above, but was a little tricky with cursive text.  Great fix though.  Thanks!
