Curved Text?

[Ian]

Hi, excuse my thickness, but I want to make curved text, ie, see the text on the htmlforums logo that has the name curved around the image? I want to do that but don't know how. I have Paint shop Pro, can I do it in that, and how? If not, what can I use to do it?. I can do about a zillion other things, just not what I want.

Thanks for any input or advice in advance.

Ian try getting a Vector Graphics Program, maybe something like Corel Draw, Illustrator, Maybe even Flash can handle this task.

It is possible in photoshop or paint shop pro but kinda difficult, it involes rotating each letter individually and aligning them manually.

hi ian,

form what i gather, they have made making curved text way easier in psp 6 and 7 than in earlier versions. in case you want to give it a go, here are 2 tutorials that might do the trick:
http://www.psppower.com/tutorials/textonpath.htm
http://www.psptips.com/6/text/curved_text.html

unfortunately, i didn't get a chance to try it out before my 60 day trial ended, so i can't say for sure if it is as easy as these tutorials claim! :)
