A little trick in GIMP

[personal profile] feotakahari 2015-02-18 09:30 am (UTC)(link)
Black text is often much more readable when you outline it in white. This is how to do so in the crappy freeware editor GIMP:

Type your text.
Go to the "Layers" menu. Under "Transparency," select "Alpha to Selection."
Go to the "Select" menu and pick "Grow." Choose to make your selection two pixels bigger.
Go to the "Layers" menu and pick "New."
In the Layers dialog, move your new layer underneath the text, but on top of the image.
With your new layer selected, go to the "Edit" menu and fill the selection with white.

If everything works out, you should have the outline of the text completely filled with white, with the black text superimposed on top.

This whole mess is just one step in Photoshop, but you get what you (don't) pay for.
