--> Outlining Pixel Text
Make some cool blinkies or other things with outlined pixel text, something like this:
1.) Open up a new image (File >> New), any size. Check the box next to TRANSPARENT. It should be any size, as long as it's bigger than your pixel text. I used Silkscreen font, which you can download here.
2.) Match your settings to mine (You don't have to use Silkscreen/size of font):
3.) Pick the color that you want and type in your text. The color that you want on the inside, or the un-outlined part should be the one on the bottom, which is the red in this case:
4.) Click 'Okay' when you're finished with your text and make sure it's floating, or there's moving black dots around it. Now press Ctrl+C (copy) and open up a new blank image, making sure that it's bigger than the text you've selected. Fill it in with the color you want the outline to be (yellow).
5.) Now, press Ctrl+E (paste selection) and move the text where the yellow surrounds it. Making sure that it's still selected (moving dots around it), go to Selections >> Modify >> Expand. Press 'Okay' to anything that pops up. Set the number of pixels to 1.
6.) Almost done ^_^. Press Ctrl+C to copy it and then Ctrl+V to paste it as a new image. There's your outlined text!!! You can make a third outline with a different color by repeating Step 3 and so forth. This is my final product:
