How to add 2 stroke outlines?

How do you add two stroke outlines to text? Meaning, the first stroke should be colored white, and the next stroke outside of the white color should be red.

TIA.

2 Easy ways:

1---- If you cntrl-Click the text in the layer pallet you can select it --> Stroke accordingly.

Next (while still selected) go to
Select --> modify --> Expand (1 pixel?) --> stroke again with the new color (probably on a new layer for each stroke.)

2 ---

Just select the text --> stroke 1 pixel

while still selected --> stroke again 2 pixels (make this layer underneath the the 1 pixel stroke layer.)

might need to adjust a bit here and there, but either should work.

while still selected --> stroke again 2 pixels (make this layer underneath the the 1 pixel stroke layer.)

Do you duplicate the original text layer to do this?

Here are two quick examples:

One
and
Two

I only used a text layer, two stroke layers, and the background.

It came out better on #2 because I actually selected the text, increased the selection (select --> modify --> expand 2 pixels.) and filled the layer. This went behind the text.

so the layers were stacked like this:

stroke
text
fill
Background.

This should clarify it.

Maybe this will help as well:

Write the text you want, goto Layers and resterize/text.

Then goto Edit and Stroke

Set the stroke to 'inside' (if the text is big) 'outside' (if the text is small) and make it 2 px wide, color white.

then do it again but this time make it 1 px wide and choose the other color 'red'

hope that helps

Set the stroke to 'inside' (if the text is big) 'outside' (if the text is small) and make it 2 px wide, color white.

You can't set two strokes at the same time. ;)
