Select the type tool and choose the font you want to use.
Click once on your document and type a word in a size you want your outline to be. Click on the check mark in the options bar to accept it.
Create a new layer above the type layer.
Press the control key and click once on the thumbnail of the type layer (the left part of the layer than has T on it) to get a selection outline the size of your type.
Click on your new layer.
Choose “edit > stroke (outline) selection.”
Choose a new color for your outline.
Select the width of your stroke. You may need to experiment to find the right size. For higher resolution photos, choose a pixel of 8-10.
Decide where you want the position of the stroke outline to be. Inside works well if you have letters that are rectangle.
Turn the eyeball off on your text layer.
Click ok and deselect – ctrl. D
Use the move tool to move the text into place.
To flip the type on its side, choose “image > rotate > layer 90 degrees right or left”.
