The Type tool in Photoshop allows you to add text to your images, and then adjust the text to suit your goals. To make the text more visible, you can add an outline, called a stroke, to prevent the text from blending in with the background. In Photoshop CS6, you can achieve the outline effect by applying a style to the text layer. You have full control over the color of the outline, as well as the width of the stroke. Writer Bio
