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.
