0 pctuk Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Nice one, but you are blatently violating Adobe's guidelines on it's copyright use (their site) Trademarks must never be abbreviated. ? CORRECT: Take a look at the new features in Adobe? Photoshop? software.? ? INCORRECT: Take a look at the new features in PS. Only joking, I just saw this site and thought they were funny/ .

0 "jan Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 Isnt there a way to just make the text path circular in PS CS? I dont know other than what is suggested in the tutorial. I would like to though as CS is what I use. Actually did not seem to be all that complicated though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 TheDogsBed Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 (edited) Cough and they will come... :D While there isn't a direct method as such, there's the next best thing... New Layer, Select the ellipse shape but don't draw it yet! Click the paths icon at the top of the screen: Now draw the circle. (It will just create a circular path.) Select the text tool and hover the cursor over the new circle path. (You'll see the cursor change.) Type away! Remember, you're not limited to circles - try different shapes...

0 "jan Posted January 19, 2004 Author Share Posted January 19, 2004 Alright Sniper, thanks!! :) What about the "~" paths? So how do you do them? Hmm ? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TheDogsBed Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Alright Sniper, thanks!! :) What about the "~" paths? So how do you do them? Hmm ? :unsure: Think about it, the answer is right in front of you. Type a very large ~ On the menu: Layer/Type/Convert to Shape Now you can do exactly the same as before with the text tool, just hover it over the new shape. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
