Thinking about adding text along a custom path<\/strong>??? Typing along a custom path enables us to make words or sentences in different shapes. It will be great addition to the designing aspects of a creative document.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s check this Photoshop tutorial to accomplish this task.<\/p>\n

Compatible platforms : Photoshop CS6<\/strong> or Photoshop CC<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s begin the task by opening a background image and then creating path. For that we can choose multiple options like circle, ellipse, rectangle tools or pen tool for creating paths.<\/p>\n

Step 1 : Opening required background image<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Open the required background image for your document. Here I am using a sample image from my images gallery.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 2 : Selecting the shape<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Select ellipse<\/strong> drawing tool from Tool Box<\/strong>. With the ellipse tool selected, the Options Bar<\/strong> along the Tool Box<\/strong> will set to Shape<\/strong> option by default. Change it to Path<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 3 : Drawing the ellipse<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To draw the path drag the mouse by holding the mouse click<\/strong> and Shift Button<\/strong>. When mouse reaches from on point to another we can observe that a perfect circle is getting formed. Then release the mouse to get a perfectly shaped circle.<\/p>\n

Step 4 : Selecting type tool and its properties<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In this step we will add text to our custom made path. From the tool box<\/strong>, select horizontal type tool<\/strong>. And don\u2019t forget to set font style<\/strong>, size<\/strong> and alignment<\/strong>. The above figure shows how my document has been set to appropriate values.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 5 : Typing along the path<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Click on the path and start typing while the cursor appears along the path<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 6 : Hiding the path<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After typing the text, our path is still visible under the text. To make it disappear<\/strong>, click any of the background layer<\/strong>. We can also choose whether the entered text should be inside or outside the path. It can be accomplished by using Path Selection Tool<\/strong> which is lying under the text tool in tool box.<\/p>\n
