Text On A Plaque Effect
Hi everyone!
I duplicated the text layer and added a stoke via layer styles to the bottom layer to get this effect. I like the way the outside of the stroke looks, but I have stroke gaps between the letters that I’d like to fill in. The goal is to get the top layer to look like text sitting on a solid plaque. I feel like I’m missing something simple here. Image of example attached. Thank you!

Kerning and leading is required.
For space on return use leading.
For space between characters use kerning.
You can also kern individual characters by using Option + Left/Right Arrow.
Just place the cursor where you wish to apply the kerning.

When I use kerning to close the gaps it brings the letters so close to each other that they overlap. I’m looking to leave everything where it is and just close the gaps in the white background. Maybe I’m missing something in your reply?

Is it likely you are looking just for a rectangle which will change its size depending on the text entered, right?
In that case, you would split your graphics into two layers: one with text, another with rectangular shape. Then there many tutorials around that show how to prime the underlying rectangle so it reacts to the text.
