Some designers may try to add another stroke and end up just editing the original one.

Double and Triple Strokes Photoshop Tutorial
Step 1
Open Photoshop and go to File>New for a new file at this size and click OK.[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Step 2
Click the Text tool in the toolbar and click anywhere and type in some text. Don't click-and-drag a text box, but instead just click once and then type so we can click-and-drag a corner to resize it later. I set the color of mine to #4891dc by highlighting the text and then clicking the color on the Options palette.

Step 3
Change the font to something that will look good with strokes, such as an san serif font (arial or verdana instead of times new roman). I set it to Maiandra GD. Then click the Move tool and click-and-drag a corner to make it a little bit bigger. Remember to hold Shift to maintain proportion. After resizing, press Return (PC: Enter) to apply resize.[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
