I am looking for a tutorial on text effects. What I want to do is have several different colors around the outside of the text. like have the letter J with 3 colors around it say one black strip, one white strip and one gold strip.
Thanx for the assistance.

The easiest way to do this would be to use 'STROKE' on the text layer, that would get you the first strip around your text
Then flatten text layer to another blank layer and 'STROKE' again.
Then flatten text layer to another blank layer and 'STROKE' again.
I'm sure though, that others will have a different/better way of doing this. But in the meantime you could try my way and see if it works for you.

I want the interior to be white, have a black strip around it followed by a gold strip. How do I do that?? I tried both was but couldn't figure out the stroke tool to get it looking right.

Hi sorry It's taken me so long to get back to you.
This is a link to YouTube that will show you how to do what you want to do.
But don't use an image, use a a background of gold and then follow the video.

Hope this helps
