Ok, i want to outline some words i made with the A tool on my layout...is there any easy way to do this, or am i stuck with the paintbrush tool?

Well what version are you using?


On my version the border for text is the Stroke so when you're setting the settings for your text put how wide you want the Stroke to be. :D (BTW the width is in pixels)

im on version 7....the stroke button? how do i get to that?

Next time please edit your post instead of double posting! ;)

Well, how did it work? If it turned out well then you're welcome ;)

ha didnt know i could edit...stupid me. anyway, i figured it out, and thanks much!

You mean the two little arrows on top and on the bottom? Well those set the width (up arrow=higher number, down arrow=lower number)

*edit*

You all are too fast for me lol! You're welcome and
Welcome to the Forum! :waving:

i wouldn't do stroke, it makes the white (for example white text and black outline) go smaller so when you have to use small text for buttons etc you hardly see any white.

open a new image
make background (with fill tool) black
then add text on it in white (only white colour)
then go to "selections" and choose "select from vector object"
then go to "selections" and click Modify > expand
choose 2 pixels and hit "ok"
then click on the title bar (the blue part) from the image with right mouse button, and choose "copy merged"

go to your image and right click and choose "paste as new layer" and you are done :)

Love,
