How does everyone get the white outline on the fonts? I only have photoshop 4.0, so I wonder if I need a newer version because I can't figure it out for the life of me, and it seems like something that should be so simple!

I'm not sure if your version has it, but if you right-click on your text layer, and go to blending options, it will give you the option of adding a stroke. Just change that to white.

Ahh ha, thanks!

Actually, I don't think 4.0 has it? I thought I knew what you were talking about, but I don't see it anywhere

According to this site, it has it. . .I'm just not sure where you find it! Maybe try going to Edit<Stroke?

I must not have 4.0 because that doesn't look like those pictures! lol, I have windows xp, and it says 4.0 is for windows 98.... hmmm, i'm so lost

are you using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements?

if its elements do something like drop shadow, then double click the little fx thingy on the layer and a box will pop up with the levels for your shadow, glow, bevel, and stroke

Can you take a print screen of what your PS looks like when you open it?

Here is what mine looks like (PS 6.0) and I use it in XP. I am also showing you how I get stroke around my letters.

This is how I do it in PSE 6.0 When you click edit, then stroke, then a box pops up and you can pick your
desired color, and even how big the stroke is.



Hope this helps.
