Photoshop :: Reverse Text Along A Path
Jan 23, 2009
I want to create a path using the circle tool, then put 3 words text around the path, one along the top, and two along the bottom. But I want the text on top going clockwise, and the text on bottom going counter-clockwise, so it isn't upside down and backwards. I put the text on top, and for a moment I had the text tool reversed on bottom, but I lost it and can't get it to work again. I think I used the command key while placing the text.
how to reverse the direction of text along a path around a circle?

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.

sometimes when drawing a path, in the thumbnail box the item I've drawn around is shown in grey while the entire background is shown in white. This is a kind of negative of what should happen. If I make a selection from the path I get the entire background selected instead of the item.

I created the path, but for some reason it's 'reversed' or 'inverted' from what I want - is there any way to change it so the spinach is cropped properly?

I need to change the direction of type on a path. Basically it is writing the sentence backwards right now. I need it to type right to left instead of left to right so the first word of the sentence will be all the way left instead of all the way right.

I'm trying to create an effect of small text following the outline of very large bold block text (see picture). The idea I had was to first create the 'ME' in very large font as text. Then convert that text to an object / path using "Object -> Flatten Transparency... -> "Convert all text to outline"". Then, select that path and use the "Type along path" tool.
However, when I use that process, the resulting path is a compound path that therefore the Type Along Path tool doesn't work. Any pointers on how to achieve this? The image below I just used the pencil to trace the letters (quick and dirty) but the result is choppy, etc.

I'm trying to place text to a "curvy" path. I took some screen shots to show you want I'm talking about.
I created a simple curvy path 1 point on each end. (I noticed I drew in a node in the middle of the curve as well. But that actually doesn't exist in the path. I created the text a reasonable size and clicked "Text Along Path". As you can see, it never starts at the beginning of the path. Ever. I have sized the font up, and it gets a little closer to the beginning, but obviously the end of the address flies off the path. I've sized down the text and it will start even further to the middle of the path.

I have no problem getting my text along a path but I am having trouble getting the text and the path to align so that the center of the text element is centered on the path.
Is this possible or do I have to figure out someway to make my path of a certain length so it ends up that the text fits to it perfectly??
Here is a screenshot of my current problem. You can see that the text and the image below it are centered. I then placed some guide lines to make sure my path was also centered. When I placed that text along the path though, it left justified the text when I want it to be centered instead..

Illustrator 15.1/CS5 on Mac used to display selected text in reverse and would show handles for text on a path. Now it does neither.

When editing white reverse text on a template in after effects, I cannot see what I am typing.
How do I preview (change color of background or change color of text)

I've tried every permutation of copy and paste; I renamed the path to path. It looks like a path when I add stroke, but it does not behave like one. I can't cut it or join it to any other path. It remembers it's text path status. I'm running OS X 10.7.5.

I accidentally converted a path to a text path. I searched the forum for how to convert it back to a regular path. The answer I found said to select the path and hit Command+C+F. This gives me another text path! I now have at least 6 copies of the path in my files but they are ALL text paths and none are visible with a stroke.

Why the "Text along path" feature hovers the text so far above the currently active path? (in my case, the space between the path and the text is about 3 times the height of the currently used font!). I've been told that the letters should lie on top of or at least closer to the path instead. How can I move the text closer to the path?

Is there any function or script that auto-adjust tracking so text on a path meets the exact end of the path/bracket?

I have quite a large drawing (subdivision) with many bearings annotated.On many of the bearings, I wish to reverse them.
For example, if the text is 6°49' I want it to read 186°49'
Similarly if the text is 355°21' I want it to read 175°21'
Any LISP routine or VBA that will do this?I have one called "180" however it only succeeds in crashing Autocad.

I created text on a curved path using the pen tool and the the type on a path tool. However, there are portions of the text that I want to taper. For example, my text begins horizontally, continues to the right, and gradually curves downward. As the text curves downward I would like it to taper smoothly into a narrower and narrower text.

A client sent me their logo where the name is straight across. They would now like to wrap it around the circle in their logo... They do not know the name of the font, what the font couldn't id it, not much response on their forum...
Is there a way to fit text to path, where the text has already been converted to curves?

I am trying to do text to path and I finally got it to work, but it is not bringing the text color that I assigned. Instead the text becomes a black outline of the real text. I uploaded this to the application I wanted to use it in, and the text was gone.

I can create text on a path in Indesign easily enough but keep running into the same problem in Photoshop CS4.
I create a curved path with the pen tool but when I click on it with the type tool a little circle is created on the path that stops me typing fully along the path - i can only type up to the circle.
I've hi-lighted the circle in this screen grab.
I'd like to type "text on a path" but the circle prevents me typing anymore words once the letters "text" have reached the circle and an x appears in the circle.
I keep getting this problem on any curved paths I make.

I would like to have text follow the path of a line without showing the line
i.e. "FACE TO FACE" following a horizontal "S" curve or possibly a pentagon
How do I create the line and then attach the text to the line and make the line invisable?

I can't figure this out... and tried to utilize the SEARCH feature of this site... but couldnt get the best results for what i'm trying to achieve.
I'm trying to type on a circle path-- but I want the text to be typed on the INSIDE of the circle, not the outside.
Let me see if i could clarify without making it more complicated :
Normally, (i'm using cs2) I would draw the circle path and move the text cursor over the shape until it reveals that "wiggly" line. Okay- so i understand that. When I start typing, the text "STANDS" on the drawn path. How do I have the text "HANG" from the path? (much like how a pendant would "hang" off of a necklace)
Is there any possible way, other than drawing out a straight line (with the pentool) and manipulating it to bend (like the letter "U")?

want some text along a circular path and the result of "text to path" is ALWAYS text is truncated at the 19th character.GIMP 2.8.2 on Ubuntu 12.11
Process1. create a new background
2. make a circular selection
3. issue "select / to path" command
4. issue "select / none" command
5. create my text, 35 characters long on one line6. issue "text / along path" command
The text ALWAYS starts at the 12 o'clock position and is ALWAYS cut off at the 19th character! On the original circle the text cuts off at the 4 o'clock position.If I make the circle larger the text is still cut off at the 19th character but: - It starts at 12 o'clock and is cut off at 2 o'clock
If I make the circle smaller the text is still cut off at the 19th character but: - It starts at 12 o'clock and is cut off at 6 o'clock..All the circles are large enough for all the text to print around their circumference.

I understand how to make text wrap around a circle by using the path tool. But is there any way to make the text wrap around it in a sunburst shape? So that each returned line ends or begins at the path? Here's an image to describe my question.

i have a very rookie problem on cs5. i just started learning about paths and how to write text to follow these paths. from what i undestand in order to have the text follow the path i have to select the text tool and when i hover on the path it should give me the dotted cursor with the squiggly line.
however the problem im having is that the cursor never changes and as a result i just end up being able to put horizontal text that doesnt follow the path. Is there some option i must turn on or something? Im using CS5 at the moment.
