First, to position the text in the center, you can adjust the start and stop points. We have our text, but it’s not quite aligned. If you want your text centered, remember to set it in the options bar. When you hover over the path, your cursor should change to a text cursor with a curved line across it. Next, switch to the Text tool (T) then click anywhere on the path. To reposition the path, switch to the Path Selection tool and drag the path. You can hold the Shift key while dragging to get a perfect circle (or square/polygon if you are using another shape tool). In the options bar located below your Photoshop menu, click on the dropdown menu and select Path.ĭraw a path on your document. For our image, the Ellipse tool is the most suitable choice. You can pick any shape you like or use the Pen tool (P) to draw your own path that your text will follow. Step 1įirst, select the Ellipse tool from your toolbar. The proper way is to create a vector path then add your text to the path. The Warp Text tool should only be used for warping the shape of your text such as making it bulge, pinched, etc. This tool can be found in the options bar when you have your Text tool selected and it can be quick and easy, but the results are amateur. Don’t use the Warp Text toolįirst of all, never create curved text with the Warp Text tool. Here’s another example with just plain text to better show how the text gets deformed. At first glance, they both look the same but look closely at the text and you can see that the left-image text is deformed (letters upper-half are enlarged). He is much smarter than I, and is a master with Shape 3D.Have a look at the two badges below - the one on the left was curved with the Warp Text tool while the other was created on a curved path. Maybe you will be lucky and Yellowman will show up and give some advice. I think if you try the cylinder shape first you might get what you are after. Problem is, it's one of the most complex plugins in PdN. I think you might be able to get there/get close with Shape 3D with the right settings. I've just not had much time to play around with it but I downloaded your image to play with. Oh no, too many big words! Just kidding, I think I know what you mean. I will try that Shape 3D, I have not tried it yet, thanks. so that the text is upright, perpindicular to the bottom of the cup, when it is formed into a cup. I would like to bend the rectilinear image into the curved shape, like tube oblique does, but have the image not only be stretched in the y axis, but have it actually bent along the curve. So, they may have more text, in various fonts, when I receive the images. I will be manufacturing cups, and accepting custom prints, and submitting those to a printer.
The problem is, I will be receiving artwork that may be rectilinear.
