Adding effects to exported bitmapped fonts

by Stanley D Chatman · in Torque Game Builder · 08/24/2006 (7:18 am) · 1 replies

After searching through the forums I was finally able to figure out how to export my fonts. Now I have a long png strip file and I want to add gradients, outline and shadow. My question is how do I do this using either Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop Elements?

Haven't used PSP in many years now, and I've never used Elements, so I'm not sure what features are stripped out, but both should have layer effects that will do exactly what you're looking for. In Photoshop (and, I assume, Elements), look for the stylised "f" button at the bottom of the layers palette. Clicking on it should bring up a list of layer effects you can apply, including drop shadow, gradient fill, and stroke (outline).
