No. PhotoShop is *not* the correct program to develop a business card.

Make or modify any *images* you plan to use with PhotoShop.

Lay out the Business Card in InDesign *or* a vector graphics program such as Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator ... doing ***all*** of your text in either InDesign or the vector graphics program.

[It really is *easy* to do text in Blue, with a thin black outline, in either of the vector graphics programs listed above.]

There are *many* reasons for this ... too many to list in this posting ... but the most important reason is text is *much* better handled as a vector graphic.

Greetings

I am new in the Adobe field, and now am "trying" to learn the basic

elements of Adobe CS2. I am working on a PC.

My delimma: I am attempting to create a business card, for my new

company. I believe Photoshop CS2 is the correct place to develop this (?), before placing it into InDesign CS2 (?). I have selected my font (Myriad Regular - dark blue), and have created the Text in Photoshop CS2. However, I've not been able to find instruction as to how to place a black outline around each and every character of the text (each character outlined separately).

(I'm learning by the "seat of my pants," as the computer learning center

I have signed up for is not yet teaching CS2.) I have ordered reference books for InDesign CS2, Photoshop CS2 and Illustrator CS2 -- however, the only one that is currently available is InDesign CS2 -- the others have not yet been released (although have been ordered!).

Any help, suggestions, etc., would be greatly appreciated. This is

driving me nuts!!!!!!!!!
