Font Effects Options

[Reyn]

I'm really sorry if this has already been asked but I couldn't find it anywhere. >.< I was wondering how you get font effects like the following:


I was wondering how you get a border around your fonts like that.


I am wondering how you get cool font effects to be part of your fonts like this picture... if that makes any sense... like how the effect is ONLY on the font, not anywhere else... >.< I'm talking about the font that is a bunch of different colors & it's kind of glossy looking...

Thanks for taking your time out to help.

*Edit* I use Photoshop by the way. ^^

well, photoshop will definitely give you these effects.

for the white border around the 1st image, all you'll have to do is go to the text's layer and click on the icon fx that is at the bottom of your layers section. when a new window opens, click on stroke and adjust the color, size and even style to how ever you want. you can add a gradient or a pattern like the 2nd image has.

hope that helps!

yes, just like Melie said above me, you have to apply a stroke to your text layer. in order to do that you much double-click on the text layer & the blending options will appear. go down to the "stroke" section, check it off & apply the settings. if you want to acheive the look in the first picture you provided, just change the color from red to white "#ffffff" & i say leave the size as is (which should be 3).

any questions, contact me!
