Not directly in photoshop, though you can do it in Illustrator. I do mine in Corel Draw. There are also some plug-ins for photoshop that will allow you to do it. Utopian 23 knows what they are. I forgot.

Please put something relevent to your subject in your subject line!

Subject like Basic question or Please help... mean nothing!

Sometink like : Make text "bend" to fit a path, would be a perfect subject line...

About you question... There is now way to do this in a single text layer... you willl need to put each letter on its own layer... Then I recoment to put all your letters layers in a layer group and close it...

If you want text to bend on an arc, you can do that in PS 7.

Nope, it hasn't been in any version of Photoshop.

But keep your eyes peeled for version 8's new feature set.

Ooops, did I say that out loud?

What about the option to curve text? it has been around sence photoshop 6 at least

when you create text there will be a thing on the toolbar that has to do with bending it find that and try to use it

If that doesn't fit your fancy then try messing around with polar cordinates u can get that to wrap text with a little time and hard work

She isn't talking about doing that. That just gives you a cheesy warped text effect. She wants the text to look normal, but the baseline of the text to curve around a circle. Like the text on a Penny or Quarter, not the text on your grandma's family newsletter.
