Adding Contour to Text in Photoshop

Now, to continue on with my magma text, as we see here, I've got, I've got my found edges filter up and running. What I'm going to do is I'm going to invert this, and to invert this I'm just going to hit command I; there we go. And as we can see, all the black in the background, and we have a little bit of white up here. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to go into my hue/saturation now, so I'm going to hit command, what is it command L? Nope. Let's try command U; that's what it is. I have them all memorized; just can't remember which one I need to do. So now what I'm going to do is I'm going to hit, let's hit colorize, and let's get a nice red color going on, so something like that. That looks all right. Go ahead, and hit okay on that, and actually you know, let's bring that up a little bit; let's get some red into that. That looks better right there, a little orangish-red, not a bad little texture background. So what we're going to do is we'll stop here, and we'll pick this up in the next part.
