Hi everyone. Just wondering how to do a text outline as per the attached images? Many thanks.

Hi Jonny.
That sounds like an easy one. You just need to add a stroke to your text.
You don't say whether you're using Pixelmator or Pixelmator Pro so:
In Pixelmator, Stoke is in the Styles Palette (⌘7 to show/hide)
In Pixelmator Pro, Stroke is part of the Style tool.
Tip: If you find that the Stroke intrudes too much into the lettering, create a copy of the text (without the stroke) and position it in front of the text with the stroke.
Hope this helps.

Hi Stef, got it! Yes, it encroaches into the lettering, but creating a non-stroke copy and then overlaying sorts this! Perfect. Many thanks.
