Thought Bubbles / Talk Bubbles

Post by df »

Hi there. Long time no post.

Is there an easy way to get a Thought Bubble or Talk Bubble that sizes itself based on the text you're trying to add? I know there's preset shapes and that's basically the shape I want, but I can't find a way to make the shape match the general size of the text I'm typing, it's just how big/small you drag it to. I'd like it to be more uniform between different "thoughts".
I'm using PSP X8 for a certain project but I've also got X9 and 2019.

TIA for any help.
Regards, Dan

PSP does not work like this, no. If you add text to a speech bubble as a vector frame it's only for text wrapping and the text will take on the shape of the frame not the other way around. So if you write out the text you want in the font size you want, you can then resize the frame manually until the text looks like you want it to. But that's about it.
