When it comes to design, there are a lot of different software programs that you can use to create beautiful designs. However, Photoshop is one of the most popular and widely used design software programs out there.

If you’re new to Photoshop, you may be wondering how to outline text in your designs. Luckily, it’s not too difficult to do! In this article, we’ll show you how to outline text in Photoshop so that your designs look professional and polished.

To start, open up the Photoshop program on your computer and create a new document. Then, use the type tool to type out the text that you want to outline.

Once you have your text typed out, select the text layer in the layers panel and then click on the “fx” button at the bottom of the layers panel. A menu will pop up – select “stroke” from this menu.

A stroke options dialogue box will appear. From here, you can choose the width of your stroke, the color of your stroke, and whether you want your stroke to be inside, outside, or center of your text.

We recommend using a black stroke with a width of 1-2px for most designs. Once you have your stroke options set the way you want them, click “OK” to apply the changes.

PRO TIP: When outlining on Photoshop, it is important to be careful of the width and hardness of your brush, as well as the layer you are working on. If your brush is too wide or hard, you may accidentally outline the wrong area or damage the layer.

And that’s it! You’ve now successfully outlined text in Photoshop.

This technique is great for adding a bit of contrast and dimension to your designs. Experiment with different stroke widths and colors to see what looks best for your particular project.
