Tutorial: Outlined Lettering

Here's how to create outlined letters. This also works with shadow effects by offsetting the bottom layer.

1. Create a text box in outline, then copy the text box by selecting control-c (copy)/ control-v (paste). This function works in both PC and Mac platforms. The second text box I created in a solid color.
2. Place the solid color text layer below the outlined text layer and align them.
