I'm trying to teach a friend of mine how to make graphics in photoshop (she has it..-envious-) and neither of us can figure out how to outline text. I found a setmaking guide witha way to do it, but it came out looking really choppy and itonly outlined the outside of the text, not inside (like it didn't do the center of o's, a's, etc.

I think she uses photoshop 7.0, if that helps at all.

There are two (main) ways to do it:

Way #1
1. Select your text layer.
2. On the bottom left of the layers window (where all the layers are listed), there is a button with an "f" on it. Click this and select "Stroke..."
(alternatively, go to the "Layers" menu, and go "Layer Style > Stroke...")
3. Play with the size, pattern and colour of the outline there. Click OK!

Way #2
1. Select your text layer.
2. Right-click it, and select "Rasterize Layer" (note: if you do this, you won't be able to go back and edit your text).
3. Go to the "Edit" Menu and select "Stroke..."
4. Select your colour and stroke size and click OK

The first way is somewhat preferable, because it is more flexible. You can go back later and change your text, or the colour and size of the stroke... which is good if you're experimenting with different effects :)

Another way!

1. Right-click the text layer in the layers pannel.
2. Click 'Blending Options'
3. Click 'Stroke'
4. Tada
