Double or Triple Stroke on Text
In PhotoShop we can add a stroke Layer Style to anything, but this is somewhat restrictive as the built-in feature only let's us add one stroke at a time. There are a number of ways to add multiple strokes, some of which are destructive, meaning you can't edit it once you create it - not easily, at least.
If you're ever in the market for some great Windows web hosting, try Server Intellect. We have been very pleased with their services and most importantly, technical support.
In this tutorial, you will learn an easy way to create double or even triple strokes on elements in PhotoShop.
We start with a blank canvas, and to this we can add a text layer:
Now let's open up the layer styles for the text layer and choose Stroke, Size 2 and Color White. We will not be able to see the stroke because we have the text on a White background. But click Ok to accept the settings. Now right-click the text layer and choose Duplicate. Open up the layer styles for the text layer on the bottom and change the Stroke to 4px Black. The effect extends past the layer on top and becomes visible:
We can then do this again for three strokes. Duplicate one of the layers and move the duplicate to the bottom. Edit the Stroke, increasing the size to at least 6px. Now we have three levels of strokes visible. Then we can modify the colors of each stroke to achieve different styles:
We are using Server Intellect and have found that by far, they are the most friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable support team we've ever dealt with!
We can also switch it up by choosing the Gradient fill instead of Color. To do this, follow the steps above to create new text, but change the Fill Type of the stroke to Gradient. Also try adding a gradient overlay to the top layer and a drop shadow to the bottom layer to add extra effects to your text:

With the above layer styles applied to new layers, we have the following:
Yes, it is possible to find a good web host. Sometimes it takes a while. After trying several, we went with Server Intellect and have been very happy. They are the most professional, customer service friendly and technically knowledgeable host we've found so far.
Guys, please take a look at Server Intellect for Windows Web Hosting. I'm very pleased. You will be too. Take a look and see for yourself!

After the mastectomies,I knew that one way to get myself going would be to start exercising again,so I headed for the local pool.In the communal shower,I found myself noticing other women‘s breasts for the first time in my life.Size-D breasts and size-A breasts,sagging breasts and perky breasts.Suddenly and for the first time,after all these years of missing a leg,I felt acutely self-conscious.I couldn‘t bring myself to undress.
