Default How do you create outlined letters in photoshop?

I'm trying to create some new GIF folding badges for upper levels on our folding team and can't seem to figure out how to make the numbers have the same look/feel of the other ones we have




I'm trying to make them for 3m, 5m and 10m+ using Photoshop / ImageReady CS and have tried all the fonts / font styles and can't seem to find anything that does that.

i've got the badges all set up w/ colors, just can't get the numbers right

To create outlined text. First choose the font you want to work with, after that go to to 'Layer' then 'Layer Style' and choose the 'Stroke' option. From there you can choose the color and how thick you want the border/outline to be.


Here's a screenshot below




Hope this helps

Thanks, would you? I posted asking a couple of times for them in the F@H thread but I guess you didn't see them so decided to try and do them myself .

3m, 5m and "10m+", they need to be GIFs (not JPGs) or I can convert them.

Was thinking a greyish kinda like the background color here, a blue like page color beside the top banner on the forum and black for 10M+
