Learn how to add multiple strokes around text using layer effects in Photoshop! Specifically, we'll add rainbow color strokes, but you can use these same steps with any colors you like. And you can add as many strokes as you like, up to a maximum of 10.

I also show you how to save the strokes as a layer style preset so you can apply the effect to other text with a single click. And at the end, we'll look at a problem you'll run into when adding a drop shadow behind the strokes, and the simple way to fix it!

The option to add multiple strokes to the same layer was added fairly recently to Photoshop. So to follow along, you'll need to be using a recent version, preferably Photoshop 2020 or later.
