Hello,
annotate can produce shadows.
it also can make strokes that form outside as shown at
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/fonts/

However, is there a way to apply such effects with caption ?

I need to write text on a photo and caption can make the text to appear in new line if it is long.
So, I prefer caption instead of annotate.

Please suggest me how to apply outside stroke / shadow with caption.

Thanks

Use caption with a transparent background. Then see

Thanks a lot.
It is working.
