Solid outline around text

In this tutorial you will learn how to create a solid outline around text. For this effect you will need to use the stroke blending option, and the expand selection.

Solid outline around text

Step 1
Open a new Photoshop document with the size 640 x 480 dimension. Then select the text tool with any colour any type your message on the canvas. Make sure the font you choose does not have too much detail. I have used impact font with #0fe738 colour, but you can use whatever font and colour you wish.

Step 2
Rasterize the layer by selecting Layer > Rasterize > Type. Then choose Select > Load selection and you should see a dotted outline around each character like below.

Step 3
Choose Select > Modify > Expand and expand by 3 pixel and click ok. This expand the selection around the text character by 3 pixels.

Step 4
Select Edit > Stroke and add the following settings below. Make sure you choose a slightly darker colour from the text colour and choose ‘outside’ for the location. You can experiment with the various settings if you wish.

You should now have a solid outline around text.
