How to make a Magic Outline text
Quick tutorial...

This is a way to create a nice looking text.
In my example I have used the font Hobo and
the foreground color R:189 G:3 and B:143.
Background color is R:252 G:190 and B:228.

1. Create a new image 16,4 million colors, white background color.

2. Select two of your favourite matching colors.

Outline color as foreground color.

3. Write your text, antialias & floating checked.

4. Go to Selections/modify/Feather and feather 6 pixels.

5. Go to Edit and choose Clear. Do this 2 times. Tada! Finished!



6. For a more enhanced look...

With the text still selected go to Image/Effects/Cutout.
Choose white as shadow color, Fill Interior with color NOT checked.
Opacity 100, Blur 5, Offset V-3 H-3. Done!
