what program do you use? if it's photoshop, then i can help you out.


1. type in the text you want. make sure it's nothing that doesn't blend well. make sure you use white colored text, or else this won't go as well as it should.

2. raterize the text layer.

3. right click the text layer, and go to blending options.

4. go to the option marked boarder, and set it to 1px. with black color.

5. then, while in the blending options, go back to general options. change the blending option to something you want. i usually stick with soft light, but that's just me.

or, if you really want an easier way to do it, do this:

1. type the text you want. any color, because it's not staying.

2. raterize the text.

3. grab the magic wand tool. select it so that that continuous is turned off. click anywhere on the empty space.

4. go to select, then inverse selection.

5. make a new layer. naming doesn't matter much to me. just right click inside the dotted outline. go to boarder, and make it 1px. and black.

6. delete the colored text, and you are done.



hope that helps if you have photoshop. i made a lot of tutorials for it, so if you need help with it, let me know.

No need to rasterize.

1. Type thing in PS.
2. Right click the text layer. Go to Blending Options.
3. Play with the options till you're satisfied. What I use most is Outer glow.

but i like giving the text a solid boarder, which is why i suggested raterizing the text.
