    Requested Shadows or Outlines For Overlay Texts

    Hi!

    It would be fantastic if the Add Overlay Text feature let me specify that I want a shadow or an outline for the overlay text.

    The issue is that if I have a batch of pictures for which some of them have a clear background where I want to put the overlay text, and some have a dark background, the only option I have is to put my overlay text on a fixed full rectangular background instead of a transparant one. That's because there is not one single text color that will remain properly visible without that background.

    If, on the other hand I could shadow or outline my overlay, I could have, say, dark shadow and clear text, and that would remain visible regardless of the picture it is overlayed on... which would be great for batch overlaying.

    Gilles.

    Try running the batch process twice: once with white text, once with black text, with a few pixels offset.
