: Can anyone tell me how to create the outline on this text? Anyone have any idea how to create the outline on the letters in 'Beautiful'? I've tried adding a drop shadow and stroke, I'm hoping

@Hamaas979

One way of achieving this is to do the following.


Create your text in Photoshop.





Hide the background layer so you can see what you are doing for this step. Add a stroke layer style and change the color to the color of your background and the size slider is to change the size of the boarder between the text and the fancy outline you're creating.






Click OK and then in the layers panel, right click on stroke and choose Create layer. This will convert the style into a layer so you can add a style to that and since it's separate from the text layer, it can always be made to match you background.





Select the new layer that was created and add a Drop shadow layer style and set the blend mode to normal with the opacity at 100%. Change the size slider to 0 to get a solid shadow and not blurry and adjust the angle to look good on your text. The last thing to do is to change the color of your fancy outline to whatever you want then click OK.





Final result.




As always. this can probably be achieved using many other methods.
