Text on a circle - PS7

[Darcy Baldwin]

I promise I'm not using you guys as a tutorial - I promise :)

However, I've spent the last hour online trying to find out how to type a title in a curve in PS, and while I figured out the warp text on my own, I can't get it to to move into a tighter circle - the full 180 so to speak..it stops short at about 130-140 maybe?

I see lots of tuts. for PSE, but nothing for PS that can get me past this - or maybe I'm just doomed with this design? LOL

Hi Darcy-
I produced this video for PSE, but it *might* apply to PS7 beings it doesn't have the text on a path feature either. It doesn't use the warp text tool.

crossing my fingers for you. :)

Don't think writing text on a curve works in PS7, but you can find a tutorial on how to write a circular text,
as well as some other great tutorials at Digiscrappingtutorials (http://www.digiscrappingtutorials.com/Index.asp?Type_ID=1).

Laurie...it worked until I get to the distort/polarize, which is not in PS. But thanks so - that video is great!

Thanks, Chey - that'll be a good one to have handy!!

It has the same basic tutorial that Laurie had..I must just be missing some filters. Thanks, anyway!

[laurieg]

hmmmm-
no filter>distort>polar coordinates?

I thought PS7 had that- sorry. :cry:

Laurie - I meant to say mine doesn't. We seem to have a stripped down version of PS. We can't find where Dh stored the disks - they aren't in the program organizer we have all the rest of the important ones in - so I can't reload PS to make sure we have everything.

It would work if I had the filter. I need to see if I can find a plug-in somewhere -that'll be my search today!

Thanks so much for helping - at least I know there's a capbaility to do it now!
