Curved Text

I have Photo Impact 8. I am trying to lay text into a circle, around the inside top in the same arc as the circle. But I can't figure out how to do it.

I found various curves in the deform gallary, but none of them match the circle, and I can't figure out how to manipulate it and "raise" the center.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Frank

If you right-click on the thumbnail, you can then modify properties and control the features.

However, I think the easiest way would be to create the text and make it round, then draw the circle and drop it behind the text.

Wow, you guys are fantastic. Thank you so much.

Mary Lou, your tutorial is great.

And of all things, I am using it to doll up a presentation for my "Spiral Wishing Wells" which is almost like your company name.

These devices have raised over $200 million for charities around the world, and we are starting a new initiative that lets companies "sponsor" them so they are free to the charity.

I am making some "Sponsored by" sample advertisements with those two words curved to match the door on the base of the Well.

Thanks again.
