Oh! You type it out in white, then you go to the "layer effects" tab and select "stroke". It'll place a black stroke on it, but on the layer, if you double-click the "fx" then a box will pop up with modifications you can make. You'll see a small color block with the 'black' color that your stroke is. Click it and you can select any color stroke that you like. ^^ You can do the same for glows and whatnot all from that 'fx' menu.
If you need screenshots or something, let me know.
I use that as well. PSE 7 for everything I do. I love it, and to me, the other PS is a little harder to grasp. Though the other PS does have a few more lovely little features that Elements lacks. Still though, for beginning typography, it does just fine ^^
Hai hai, same with me. You have to start at the bottom and work your way up. There's no short cut. Which PS do you have? It really doesn't matter which you're using, it all depends on font selection and placement.
Kira, your such a sweetheart! thank you so much. I hope i can get as good as the other people here, i mean i have come along way to the stuff i used to do and that took a long time of practice as you said. Hmmm maybe i should get a different photoshop
Dear Common Sense, I miss you please come home, before I do something else stupid. Love Me.
Awww don't do that to yourself! Typography takes practice! If you don't play with it over and over and experiment, it won't improve! Try <3 I'm sure after a few tries and learning some tricks, you'll learn to love your Typography ^^ If you need pointers, ask questions to those you admire! You'll be surprised who'd help you out.
GANBATTE! This is cute ^^
