//Outline Text\\

Open PSP8 click on file, select new, I made my width and height 300 x 100, make yours whatever size you need it to be for your font.

Select a color that you want your text to be.  Click OK.

Now go over to your color pallet and select a darker color for your outline.

I selected a darker purple.

Now select your text tool, (A)

click inside your picture

now your text entry box will pop up

select the text you want to use and the size you want it to be and type in whatever word or words you want to outline.

Click apply.

I chose the font Fiolex girls size 30 and typed in Demented Dreamz

Now go to Selections, Modify, Expand

If a box pops up click OK

On the next box for number of pixels, I selected 2, If you are using a bigger font you might want to go with 3 or more.

Click OK

Click Ctrl c on your keyboard to copy

Right click anywhere in the gray area and paste as new image.

This is what mine looks like

I save it as a gif and it gives me this

Now you can stop here or take it a step further

If you want to continue, open animation shop 3 and right click in the gray area and paste as a new animation.

Now I'm going to right click on my picture and select duplicate selected till I have 3 frames.

Now zoom in 3:1 so you can see what you are doing.

Select the second frame

Go to Animation, replace color, select your background color, for me its the lavender, and for new color select a color a little darker, click OK.

Do this for frame 3 as well but select a different color than frame 2.

This is what I got.
