How to add a stroke to drop shadow like in this picture?

it seemed that it's black text, add white drop shadow, then there's a black border around the white shadow. How does this work? I need it for typesetting.

I can tell you how to do it as an effect, but not how to make a new font.
Make your type layer, and in the Character panel, increase Tracking to allow room for the effect. You can fine tune this setting later.
Add a drop shadow layer style, and make it a nice bright colour so you can see the offset.
Right click the drop shadow effect, and choose Create layer
The drop shadow will now be a separate layer, but still have Blending options so right click this layer and choose Clear layer style. It will now be a normal layer.
Double click this layer, and in Advanced Blending reduce Fill Opacity to zero. The drop shadow will now disappear, but don't worry.
Now give it Stroke using the same colour as your text. You can come back and edit this stroke setting any time. It is non-destructive.
Fine tune the outline offset with the Move tool. Job done.
[EDIT] You could save this as a new Layer Style to save a wee bit of time, but you need to go through the preliminary steps.

Stroke and drop shadows on thumbnails

Hi there. I'm trying to add a stroke and drop shadow to my lightbox thumbnails. While both appear perfectly in design mode, as soon as I view the site in preview or in a browser they both disappear. Do you know what the problem might be? Many thanks! David

Hi David,
I tested this with Composition Lightbox as well as with Slideshow Lightbox and stroke and shadow worked fine in both the cases. I applied the effects on the Normal State. Can you please confirm on what widget have you used and on what state have you applied the effects? Also, do you have a URL for us to take a look at?

How to add vertical stroke to between top menu items?

I have a horizontal Spry menu bar. How to add a vertical stroke between menu top items?
BUT NOT outermost left and outermost right. Only to BETWEEN top menu items.
In html file I tried this:
<div id="main_menu">
    <ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
      <li><a href="#">Products</a></li>
      <li class=stroke></li>
      <li><a href="#">Services</a></li>
      <li class=stroke></li>
      <li><a href="#">News</a></li>
      <li class=stroke></li>
      <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
     </ul>
   </div>
And in CSS-file I made a style:
#MenuBar1 .stroke
display: block;
width: 1px;
height: 16px;
background-image: url(../images/gui/vertical_stroke.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
In Safari this Spry menu bar work fine. But stop working in Firefox and IE.
Also DW4 warning me in properties panel that:
"This menu bar is missing some important tags. Go to Code view and and make sure that each menu item contains an <a> tag."
What is correct method to do this?

In that case you will need to use images.

Help!Can't figure out how to copy and paste a drop shadow behind an image in photoshop

I use illustrator most of the time. I'm designing a brochure and I've always embedded images, but now I'm trying to it correctly by linking them instead. So I have an image in ps as a tiff. I created a drop shadow for the image in illustrator. I want to copy and paste it behind the image into the same file so both are one file linked to the brochure. Also the drop shadow pastes as too small, then i also can't get it positioned right etc. Please explain how to do this step by step. I've been trying for hours to figure it out. thanks!

    What happened is this: my client emailed me the image as a jpg. I downloaded it, then right clicked "open with" - photoshop. It opened in photoshop. Then I saved it as a tif. (maybe i didn't need to do this). Then still in psd i went to image size - and made the image 6x4 inches (the image is supposed to be printed 3x2 inches on the brochure) . Then I made it 300 dpi resolution and kept the resampling box checked. Then I went to layer styles; drop shadow; and used the drop shadow menu to get it the size and placement and opacity i desired .It's just a plain rectangular drop shadow which is a little offset behind the plain rectangular photo. I did check the box where the image would drop out the drop shadow (or whatever it said:). The drop shadow is on the same layer as the image. Then behind all of it is a larger rectangle of the grey and white boxes, which show thru thru the drop shadow in psd. I'm assuming this is simply the artboard. Then i named it and saved it into a "links" folder which i plan to include in the folder containing the illy brochure file.
    Since the psd image is 6x4 inches, will it reset to 3x2 when printed to match the placed image size? Or should I size the psd image exactly like the illy placed image? Is the drop shadow in this case a blend like you were describing earlier?
    Did i do anything wrong in the process which will make the brochure print incorrectly, or am i being too confusing for you to know ? ))
    I'm so nervous about how it all translates from one to the other. Thanks in advance!

Yes, I'm thinking of boycotting people who don't change their user name from the default number assigned to them. It's too hard to distinguish each user now :)
Its amazing how many new users don't take the time to learn how to use the forum and just start asking questions.

How can I change the default drop shadow settings in Illustrator?

When using Effect>Stylize>Drop Shadow on an image in a fresh document the default settings are pretty far from what I actually require. I very often work with tiny images so need a drop shadow that is about a fifth the size of what is offered on the first use.
Can I change the default option?
Presently using mac pro, mavericks with CC

Thanks for the pointer - will open a copy of said file, search for the values of the current defaults and tweak them; will report back results.

How to add Video on the OAF page like youtube ?

Any one know how to add Video on the page?

If you are getting HTML code from one of these slideshow.com places, you can add this code to your iWeb pages with a little bit of work. Two things to keep in mind...1. No way to do this via iWeb directly, so it involves editing the published html files, and 2. Because iWeb republishes the html files whenever you update the your webpage, you will lose your changes and have to redo them to add your slideshows back.
The general directions are as follows...
1. Decide where you want your slideshow and know exactly what dimensions you need.
2. Insert a text box onto your page and adjust its size to exactly your dimensions.
3. Type in some uniquely identifiable text like, "SLIDESHOWHERE" without changing the font or anything else...just type it in.
4. Publish your page with iWeb.
5. Find the html file associated with your published page (either on your iDisk or in a folder depending on how you published) and open it in any text editor (like Microsoft Word, or Textedit, or anything). You may need to set your text editor to "ignore rich text" or to "show HTML source".
6. Scroll through the html file and locate your placeholder text, e.g. "SLIDESHOWHERE".
7. Replace the placeholder text with your html code and save your page.
That's it. You should see your slideshow element show up in Safari where you placed the text box in iWeb!

How to add double stroke to text or an object?

I have illustrator 10 (MAC). Wondering the easiest way to add a double stroke to text or an object? Also, how can I move the stroke so its not necessarily on the outside of text? Was thinking more of an outline with separation between the two colors on the double stroke. Thanks

I'm not really an expert in user-land Illustrator so I'm not always up-to-speed on the terminology -- what do you mean by 'double stroke'?
Assuming you're talking about doing this in code, I *might* be able to help you on this but it's been a couple of years since I used the pre-CS text engine. I'd be more likely to be able to help you if this was CS+, but I can try.
If you're talking about doing it through the GUI as a user, I'm the last guy you want to ask :)

HI,
Check the Demo program BCALV_EDIT_06 with having the DATA_CHANGED event still you can capture the changed data. This event will help you.
or you can go for this code..

How to add Receipt currency under drop dowh list

In my portal while entering travel expense receipts there is a field receipt currency for which the values are populating in drop down . There are only few values are displaying. I want to add few more currencies for selection. We are in ECC 6.

Have a look at note 1577218 for more guidance on this and also the following wiki page
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/Currenciesandexchange+rates
As mentioned previously, the control for portal is coming from table V_TCURF and is stricter in the WD side than for PR05 (table V_TCURR) but if the reverse pairings are not also maintained e.g eur/usd usd/eur then you will not see the currency in the dropdown.

How to add video section to capivate toc like adobe presneter sidebar?

hi guys
i want to add video section for each slide in my own content to toc section like adobe presenter , can i customiz adobe captivate toc and add video section with video url parameter?
thank

Add the video as Multi-Slide Synchronized Video, not Event Video. Then you get the option to have the video play in the TOC. However, be aware that the area you can use in the TOC will be quite small.

How to Add Stroke (Border)?

I imported a bunch of bmps to the timelime. I'd like to add a white border to some of them. In Photoshop, this is called a "Stroke" and it's a simple layer style. In Premiere Pro CS3, I can't even figure out how to do it.

The clip effect was indeed handy.
Heres a filter that will do what you want:
1. Size your photo however you like with motion/scale settings
2. Drop the Radial Shadow filter on the clip (perspective folder)
3. Set the filter thusly:
Shadow color as desired
Opacity 100%
Projection Dim: start with 7; adjust to make border width as desired
Softness: start with 0 or adjust as desired
Render: as desired
Shadow only unchecked
Resize Layer: CHECKED
That will provide a border color of your choice and width and it will adjust as you scale or move the image.
Tip: Set it how you want, then paste the same filter into the same clip again and change the 2nd one to a contrasting color. Now you will have a matted photo look. Add a subtle soft drop shadow to sell it a bit more (put the drop shadow after both radial filters).

How to add a Picklist/Drop down in a page with values (Without Personaliz)

hi,
i am very very new to OAF ....please help me out on the below requirement....
Please suggest me how to add a pick list/drop down field to a page, with some values. (without personalization)
And the second one is when ever i'll chose a value from the drop down the page will reload and display a message on the page.(messages are different for the different values)
Thanks

As mentioned by Anil you can use the above link for new poplist generation through extension. As far as reloading the page in that case you need to make use of PPR for that item.Do refer dev guide for more details
You can use below code for creating poplist in processRequest of your extended controller
OAMessageChoiceBean mcb = (OAMessageChoiceBean) createWebBean(pageContext, MESSAGE_CHOICE_BEAN);
mcb.setPickListViewUsageName("TestVO");
mcb.setListValueAttribute("LookupCode");
mcb.setListDisplayAttribute("Meaning" );
mcb.setID("test");
mcib.setFireActionForSubmit ("event1",null,null,false, false);//This is event that cause reload of pageYou can handle the event in pfr method
if("event1".equals(pageContext.getParameter("event")))
}Thanks

Drop Shadow Frames

I've been trying to put a different frame around my pictures. I've received many helpful tutorials on how to do it. Most all tutorials just quickly jump through changing the canvas size. The say things like - "well I'll just add xx to the canvas size".
What's my problem ... I would like the frame to be full picture size - like 4x6, 5x7, etc. When I just guess on the canvas size, I get erratic results.
Can someone help me internalize how to get a more full size - more consistent frame around my pictures.

There are 2 issues here. If you want to have the picture 6x4, you can add a simple frame via Edit>stroke:
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1RuUPfTogJ7FbYY2sOUeoZrQ98MAL
This picture was cropped to 6x4, and the stroke was placed inside. It remains 6x4.
If you wish to add a drop shadow, yet have the picture itself remain 6x4, you have to have additional "real estate", i.e. expand the canvas.
Please post the tutorial so that we can review it and provide suggestions.
