Text Question

Postby barich16cmu on Tue May 01, 2007 1:07 pm

I want to add a logo to the bottom righthand corner of my images. I just want it to say photographed by Bryan. Is there a way to get that in a clear text so you just see the edges but it doesnt hide any of the picture. I am a total noob to photoshop so all help is appreciated.

Create the text and change the text layers opcity in the layer palette.

Try This:
1 Type in your text
2 Hold down Control and click on the name of text layer in the layers pallette to select the text
3 Layer>New Layer
4 Edit>Stroke 1 pixel, Outside, White
5 Delete the text layer

Or you can go into your layer properties, add a stroke (or a bevel and emboss generally looks good for this too), then lower your text layer's FILL opacity to zero. Now all you see are the effects, and you can change the text if you feel the need to.

Woops looks like I read the question wrong.

You could have black text, set layer style to stroke, change stroke colour to white. Then change the layers blending mode to lighten.
