Outlining
Text Tutorial
This tutorial
is for Jasc Paintshop Pro.
For this tutorial,
we're going to create something like this:
In order to do
this, you need to create a text layer. Make sure that the "antialias"
box isnt checked - this can prevent the outlining from looking right. Once
you've got the text on, it should look like this:
Now, you have
to convert the text (Vector) layer to a Raster layer. In order to do this,
you have to go to the "Layers" box, right click on the text layer,
and select "Convert to Raster layer", like this:
Now you have
to copy the text layer, by going Edit>Copy. Then, you need to paste the
text layer as a selection, by going Edit>Paste>As New Selection:
You then need
to place the selection directly over the text, so it lines up completely:
Then, you need
to expand the selection by one pixel. Do this by going Selection>Modify>Expand...
You then need to select the layer under the text layer:
And you need to colour in the selected part of that layer with the colour
you want to outline the text with (black in this case):
And then all you have to do is Selections>Select None, and you've got
your finished product. You can then save the image.
