i needed those pointy strokes for the number but ps does not have that kind of thing. so the workaround is to convert it into shape then add the stroke, but the problem is you cannot eddit anymore the number after that, I am making araound 10-20 members in a team with different numbers, its a hassle to make every single number into a shape, I needed it with a push of a button, you can have your text with a sharp stroke or pointy edges and not rounded. illustrator has that, i hope ps will also do it for making oour lives easier. thanks!

It is a shortcoming and a good feature request.
In the meantime, you could add the stroke inside the character rather than outside (after making the character slightly larger than you need to allow for the inner stroke). That will keep the outer stroke corners sharp. Unfortunately it is not perfect as some inner corners will still be rounded - but it does look a bit better than all outside corners rounded, and does remain editable.

Hi @Erwin John32705300lk6g ,

 

So I can better understand what you're looking for.

Can you provide a screenshot of the type of effect you're after?

@Ged_Traynor if I'm understanding, @Erwin John32705300lk6g is comparing a layer style stroke (rounded corner) vs. a vector stroke (sharp corner). Once the live editable text is outlined to a path, there's no going back. This then requires multiple layers.

@Erwin John32705300lk6g not sure if I fully understand what you're trying to achieve, but you could convert the type layer to a smart object and then add a stroke, that way you can edit the type layer by double-clicking on the type layer's thumbnail

i needed to change the numbers constantly but you cannot do that when you convert it.
