The London Allstar Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 If you are using a font, the type what you want above the arch, then right click it with the type tool still on At the bottom there should be "Warp Text" click this and then select the way you wish to bend it, you can also change the amount of bend ect.. hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reg126 Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 As I dont use either of the 2 commonly used progs (paint shop or photoshop) I tend to use a different method. My micrografx prog was designed to be compatible with the microsoft office progs so I can construct text in WORDART when using powerpoint. To get text to bend round wheelarches I copy and paste the unfinished skin or part of it ..into powerpoint and then use wordart to get the curves right etc. The resulting wordart image can then be copied and pasted onto the skin back in micrografx prog when it can be merged as appropriate.

wrighty496 Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Can somebody offer some advice on how to get my text to curve around the wheel arches? I am using PSP7 at the moment. if you're using psp7, one option is to create the text (using the text button .....looks like a capital A), check its selected in the top dropdown as floating selection (so when u apply the text u type it has the dotted line surrounding), then when u unselect it use the warp brush (its one of the options in the paintbrush). Warp brush allows you to 'warp' (i.e bend or deform) any detail, so ensure the text is on a new layer then have a play with the warp brush to deform it into a curve shape. Both of the attached examples were done with warp brush, its a handy tool have fun......Wrighty [attachmentid=10611] [attachmentid=10612] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
