Ayntrx Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) I was looking at some thumbnails for ideas and i came across the attached photo, so it has like some white on the corners. This could be useful for some projects. Can someone help me get this look? It would be really appreciated.

Ayntrx Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 @Ego Eram ReputoI got the new link. Here it is, sorry about that. https://imgur.com/gallery/rKo4PjH Also to be more specific I'm trying to get the effect on the word, "slaying."

Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 That looks like outlining to me. There are at least a couple of plugins which will do that easily. I'd start by downloading and installing @BoltBait's Plugin Pack. Once installed you'll find BB's Outline plugin in the Effects > Object menu. The trick with all plugins in the Object menu, is that they need the image element to be on its own transparent layer. In your case, put the text on its own layer then run the Outline plugin on the entrie layer. Let us know if you need any more info. 1 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHaveNoName Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 You probably need at least three layers to do this well. Black outlining was clearly used and, although the original image is very small, as welshblue demonstrates it does look like drop shadows was used too. But my guess would be that another text layer beneath the yellow one may have been used as well, converted to pure black that can be shifted down a few pixels to give an effect/bolster the offset drop shadows and outlining. The thicker white background outlining must have been done in a separate lower layer too and it looks to me as if that was feathered but also then copied into another layer below. Either white drop shadows with wider blur or some other type of blurring or wider feathering was likely used on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayntrx Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 Thanks for the advice everyone! It was greatly appreciated. I have just one more minor question. What font was that @welshblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
