Writing text on the PATH with Photoshop CS – Part 2
Sunday ~ March 03, 2007 by Pixelseed Posted in All free Photoshop tutorials
In the screenshot you can see the path after some adjustments of the anchor points and the tangent handles. I readjusted the anchor points with the help of the Direct Selection Tool. To type text on the path, select the Type tool Once u see the cursor blinking, change the size of the font, if required. Although you can change it later as well. <<< Writing text on the PATH with Photoshop CS – Part 1
If while drawing the curve, you want to change the shape of the curve you can hold down the CTRL key and your pen tool will change to a direct selection tool . You can move the anchor point or the tangents of the curve to your needs. Once you leave the CTRL key it will switch back to the Pen tool and you can draw again.
(just above the pen tool,in the toolbar)
from the tool bar and move your mouse closer to the path, the shape of the pointer changes to ‘I’ with a little curve at the bottom (see screenshot). Once u get this icon change, click once, and the cursor will blink on the path
At the top open the size drop down menu. In this case I selected a size of 60pt.
