This is a simple text effect for making single or double borders from an existing text layer. Great for making text stickers or typesetting SFX in webtoons/manga.
This is a simple text effect for making single or double borders. Great for making text stickers or typesetting SFX in webtoons/manga.
Instructions:
SINGLE BORDER
1) Select your type layer (I use font size 30pt and then scale the text after running the action)
2) Set your main color for the outline*
3) Run first action -> Layer panel should look like this:
- Outline 10px <- outline layer
- Text <- rasterized text layer
- [Your Text] <- original text layer
4) Merge/organize layers as needed
5) **IMPORTANT** If you're creating multiple texts on the same file I recommend merging each instance and renaming the layer so it does not conflict with the action (the action will reference layers named 'Outline 5px', 'Outline 10px', and 'Text')
DOUBLE BORDER
1) Follow steps above but DO NOT merge files yet
2) Run second action -> Layer panel should look like this:
- Outline 5px <- second outline layer
- Outline 10px <- first outline layer
- Text <- rasterized text layer
- [Your Text] <- original text layer
3) Merge/organize layers as needed
4) **IMPORTANT** If you're creating multiple texts on the same file I recommend merging each instance and renaming the layer so it does not conflict with the action (the action will reference layers named 'Outline 5px', 'Outline 10px', and 'Text')
*TROUBLESHOOTING
If your main color switches to a different color after running the first action you will need to go into your type property and make sure the main color is set to your appropriate outline color
