Thanks for the tutorial. When I go to my text tool and hover over the created path it doesn't "see" it which results in my not being able to type in the circle. I have an older version (7.0) is this why, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks again!
I LOVE YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!! The Ark tool drove me crazy trying to make the text look nice and not get distorted... this is EXACTLY what I was looking for!!
use the move tool to select the text, the move tool also allows you to scale object up and down (if you are using CS5 make sure the "show transform controls" box is checked (top toolbar). So then you can just scale it down until it fits in the circle.
i have seen the video and i got it all but the problem is that when i hover over the path it doesn't give me the mark where i should start typing the text, it still the same ... !!!
this is great, but can i now apply gradient to the circular text, relative to the text? if i do gradient blending options, it does the gradient relative to the ellipse.
to get the text inside the circle get the selection tool (above the ellipse tool) and then select the text and drag it inside the circle. you might need two different circles and text if you're trying to do half inside and the other outside. thumbs up so others can see
This is exactly what I needed to know! Thanks! I sat through these crazy-long other tutorials that just wasted my time--this one was clean cut and straight to the point. :) Kudos.
Doesn't work. When I click on the path, my text is INSIDE the bubble. When I invert the horizontal path, the text is upside-down and waaaaaay off the path.
hi - I just got the hang of typing counter-clockwise for the bottom of the circle BUT is it possible to type on the 'outside' of the circle when going counter-clockwise so that it perfectly matches the clockwise text. I think you put wrote 'just select it and move it' previously but when I highlight it and select the move tool the path moves with the text - please help!!!!
GREAT VIDEO!!! quick and completely useful.. unlike the majority of the videos where these god damn morons talk about their life story before actually getting to the point.. keep up the good work brother!!
Hi Howard! Great to see another video by You. You were one of the first guys i learned from on how to do Chroma Key in FCP. Will You be doing any new videos on FCP X? Peace!
this is really awesome but how come my cursor doesnt change so when i try to add the text around the circle, it doesnt work...it still appears to be horizontal...please help me on this..thanks!
Great tutorial, but how do you make the line from the circle not show in the actual print of the document. Would be good if it would just go invisible after the text has been typed.
Thank you. This really is "straight forward". It really saved me a lot of time. Do you have anything in Photoshop CS3 that turns or flips pages for an online e-book? Does anyone have some tutorial for this, as well?
i have a hard time putting a text on path because everytime i move the cursor which is in the mode of type tool..there is no changes happening..please help me
@yougotashovel use the Path Selection Tool (hotkey is 'A'), when you hover over the text it will give you an icon that enables you to move the text and flip it over the path so it is the right way up.
@yougotashovel Just click the "Path Selection Tool" and flip the text. (move the cursor to your text and notice the little arrow right next to the " T " letter. Done.
I have no button to select that says path?? I select the ellipse tool and go up to the upper left and there is nothing like yours on mine. I am using photoshop elements 9....
