Popout Text Effect

I call this text effect 'Popout' 'cause it kinda makes it pop out. Heres how to do it!

001. Firstly, type your text. You can add a gradient or pattern to it if you like (Layer - Layer Style... - Pattern or Gradient Overlay). I used one that I made:

002. Go to Layer >> Layer Style >> Stroke. Make the settings like so:

Size: 2 px
Position: Outside
Blend Mode: Normal
Opacity: 100%
Color: White

Select OK.

003. Go to Layer >> Layer Style >> Drop Shadow and make the distance 2px.

Congrats! You're finished!
