sonofdad123 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I just installed the 4.0.4 update, then went to outline some text, and it wouldn't work. Even when I started a new project, cleared the layer, or even started a new layer, the outline option would turn the entire layer white, with a small bit of transparency around the edges of the text. The issue is similar to what happens in 4.0.3 when you try to outline text before you clear the layer; the entire layer turns white, even if it was transparent before, and your text gets an outline. I've reverted back to 4.0.3 for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 What do you mean by "outline" ? Can you list exactly which menu commands etc. you're using?

sonofdad123 Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Once I finish editing the text that I want, I access outline from the toolbar at the top of the window: Effects -> Stylize -> Outline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Are you confusing the Effects > Stylize > Outline effect with one of the Effects > Object > Outline plugins? I think what you're describing is the expected behavior for the Effects > Stylize > Outline effect. From your description, I think you want to place an outline around text characters which are rendered onto a transparent layer. For this you'll want one of the outline plugins in the Effects > Object submenu.
