Creating a text with an alpha wrapped around it.

LJ159

Hi!

I don't know if this is possible or maybe it's actually really basic but does anyone know if there is a way to create a text (for a game) that would have an alpha like a transparent stroke wrapped around it? 

Thanks

What software do you have access to? In Photoshop you can use Layer Styles to add an Outer Glow or a Stroke around the perimeter of text. The text layer can then be rasterized, and the layer transparency converted into an alpha channel.
