Double Outlining
Most people know you can outline text or images with a "stroke" in Photoshop. But honestly, sometimes it get's
boring. I always thought double outlining it added a little more kick to the picture. Here we go:
First, open up Photoshop and start a new document. Now let's write something with the text tool:
Now select all the text by holding down
Ctrl + A. From there, go to your top bar and select in this order:
Layer > Layer Style > Stroke

Play around with the settings there until you're pleased. Here's what I did:

And this is what I ended up with:
Now, we're going to have to rasterize the text so we can edit it
again. From your layers menu, right
click the text layer and select: "Rasterize Text."
You'll lose all your previous edits and you wont be able to change them after this. So make sure you're happy
with the image before you continue to rasterize it. Now for the double outline. Go back to your layers menu
and select the "Background" layer. With that selected, look right under it and find a little icon that looks
like a page with the corner lifted. This will open a new layer:
You'll now have three layers in total. Now select the text layer again and right click it. From that menu select: "Merge Down."
This will allow you to redo the text customizations. Simply follow the same directions
you just read on how to do a "stroke" and you should end up with something like this:
Congrats! You've got some pretty interesting text going on there. Rememeber that this double outline process
can be with images as well. Same steps apply.
