outline an image in CS2

Hi,

I have a logo which is Blue, I am inserting it onto a background which is the same colour, how do I put a white outline on the logo so it will stand out over the already blue background. Any ideas??
I am using illustrator and photoshop CS2.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Not sure, I'm on cs3 but try opening the blending options on the layer with the text. Then click the stroke option and apply it. You can also find it under layer then layer style then stroke.

Thank you for that however it wont work, when I use blending there is no option for stroke option. Maybe because im using CS2???

It should be fairly easy in Photoshop.

If you can't figure it out, why not post the image here, I'm sure someone can do it for you. Upload the image to a free host like TinyPic, and then copy the BB code it gives you to post it here.

Thanks but that just put a border around the whole image. I need the image outlined so when its put on the same colour background it will stand out.
I uploaded it to Tinypic here is the codes. I just can't work it out so your help will be appreciated.

The image you uploaded is a rectangular shaped .jpg image.

Did you want the shape of the truck outlined? or the entire rectangle? Do you have a .gif with a transparent background of that truck?

Yeah I want the actual truck outlined. In illustrator I outlined it so it was just the truck (not the white box around it) but i need a thin white outline around the truck so that i can put it on a blue background and only the truck will stand out, not the white rectangle box around it. Does that make sense??

here is an example of what I need. Its of another truck that has been outlined with white so you can see it on the same colour background. this is what I need to do and can't work out. Whoever did the one attached I don't know.

I don't use CS2, but I'm sure it can open/edit .svg

I traced your bitmap, duplicated it, and edited the copy to remove all the detail (so I had a solid "shadow" of the truck). I placed the original trace on top and put the outline on the copy.

Make yourself a backup and you can explore how I did it.

Thank you so much for all your help and for outlining the picture for me. I really appreciate it. Im going to try to work out what you did so I can do it in future.
Again thanks heaps. Your a champ!!!
