Working with the Border Tab
The Border tab allows you to apply up to Þ ve different border styles to the edges of the
selected text. The parameters in this tab can be used to create beveled or glowing text effects.
Click one of the numbered Border Style tabs to create a new border style. Select the checkbox
next to the tab to apply the appropriate style to the selected text.
Each tab offers the following controls.
Position sets the location of the border.
•
Inside positions the border on the inside of the edges of the selected character(s).
•
Outside positions the border on the outside of the edges of the selected character(s).
•
Center centers the border over the edges of the selected character(s), so half of the
border is on the inside of the text edges, and half on the outside.
Edge Color sets the color of the border for the selected character(s). Click the color chip to
access the system color picker, or use the eyedropper to choose a color from the screen. You
can also enter RGB values into the numerical
Þ elds associated with the color control and
press Return.
Edge Width sets the width, in pixels, of the border applied to each selected character.
Edge Opacity adjusts the opacity of the border for selected character(s). A setting of 100
makes the border completely opaque, while a setting of 0 makes the border completely
transparent.
Edge Style controls the style of the border. Each style has its own controls, which are
described in the following sections.
