    Right click on the outline color option and see if you have extra options. I had to do that and choose, tool options, and then black to get it to not crash.

        Serious amateur editor question, not a critique: is that text outlined? Or is the black going inside of the font, replacing the yellow? It looks like the latter to me, which matches the behavior of almost every image editor I’ve tried since abandoning PS once adobe started phoning home on a regular.

          It fills inward. I just tested it by setting the outline to 10 pixels and the letters become black, they aren’t like imgflip’s example. I’ll fiddle with it next time I make a meme and see if I can figure out how to make it do the expected behavior of your second basic bitch example.

            I just played around with it some more, and I am disappointed. I cannot get it to add the outline on the outside of the word, which is what I want to do 95% of the time. Hopefully that will be added as an option or something in a future update, but for now, I’ll just stick with using a drop shadow filter to outline things.

              I’m at a loss as to why this isn’t an option in more software. Seems the default for “outline these letters” is “fill in some of the letter with another color.” I don’t know when this happened but I’ve been beating my head against the figurative desk for years now.
