The quickest way: the text wrap feature – newly introduced in PS 6.

Not quite as accurate as some people need.

So the other option is to do the text wrap in Illustrator, save as outlines – then copy/paste into Photoshop.

Photoshop CS does have a new vector text on a path feature, but I’ve yet to use CS so cant really comment on it.

Text "wrap" or "warp," Jason? This makes it sound like you’re talking about two totally separate text issues.

It’s a standard feature in PS Elements. Doesn’t full PS have the Warp feature in the Text tool? It’s the furthest button to the right in the Text toolbar. It’s called "Create Warped Text."

Yes, sorry Emma, I meant warp!!

PS 6 has text warp.

PS CS has a path text wrap.

Sorry to sound nit-picky, Jason. It just struck me that it conveys an entirely different idea.

No harm done, it certainly doesnt help if I just confuse the Kinkos guy.
