Notice that when we delete the original Path from the Paths Panel, we are no longer able to see it on the canvas - just the text is left. However, if we export the image to GIF or JPEG, the Path will not be visible as it is only a guide and not an actual element in the page. Once the text has been positioned with a path, it is still editable and will still follow the path. However, you can only modify the Path itself if the original is still in the Paths Panel (I.E. is still visible on the canvas). Like so:
Take your text tool and put it over the line and your see that a little curved line will appear at the bottom of your text icon. As seen in the screen shot bellow:
This tutorial explains how to create text which follows the shape of the path (like the one below) using Adobe Photoshop CS3. Watch it in the new window (820px/675px)
When you select the "Ellipse Tool" the option shown below will show up in the task bar. Make sure you have , Path and Exclude overlapping path area selected as shown in the image below.
In this tutorial, we will learn how to write text on a path, this was almost not possible in the earlier versions of Photoshop up to version 7, but now its pretty simple to work with this new feature that has been introduced since CS. Writing text on path can be quite useful and enhance the designs of your layouts etc. Designing cards, banners or poster, putting text on the paths can add some spice!
