There are 2 options for out line fonts. The first, is an effect where you create an outline on the type, such as a stroke or bevel.<\/p>\n

The second type of outline, is for quality, flexibility and production work, this is covered in this tutorial.<\/p>\n

A great thing about text, or type in Photoshop is that it’s vector, as all real fonts are. The only problem is when you want to do certain types of transforming, you have to rasterize. As soon as you rasterize, it’s no longer text, but a bitmap, which can’t scale without losing quality. This tutorial gives you an alternative to rasterizing, where you keep the quality of the text, no matter what. This is also what you do when sending something off to print to some printers that ask you to outline your fonts before printing.<\/p>\n
