PSP X4 PRO - Reverse Path text

[wolverineinmichigan]

I am able to put text in a vector however, I'm having problems having text and then adding reverse path text.


What I would like to do is add additional text at the bottom of the circle but concave instead of convex. I hope that makes sense. I want to have the text at the bottom wrap around the circle but like a smile so the text isn't upside down.

Thanks.

Do you mean something like this?

Very easy.

First, make sure your circle converted to a path. You can do this by going to the Objects menu and select "Convert to Path."

Then with the path selected you want to reverse it. Again go to the Objects Menu, under "Edit" select "Reverse Path."

Usually, this will make the text curve along the inside of the circle. So what we want to do is when adding the text we want to add an Offset with a negative value. I used an offset of -26 for the image above.

If you want text moving in both directions that's a little trickier. You need two paths moving in opposite directions to pull that one off. But it all works.

I think I did it.



I was having problems but figured out that you have to simply repeat the "reverse path" process. Thanks for the assist

Here's a quick and painless tutorial that I created on how to place a text to a path, it was created using PSP X2 Ult but still applicable with the newer version.
