Using Layers For Outlined Text In GIMP [VIDEO]

In this video I show in a basic sense how to use layers to put a thick border around text. This is a standard technique used in many web logos (including PCMech’s logo which has white outlined text.)

Note: This video has an HD option for better clarity. Look to the bottom right of the video after you start playing it for “360″, change to “720″ and then hit the four-arrow icon to the right of that to view in full-screen HD quality.
