When I copied the curved text and pasted it to a new image, the text was straight. Changing the offset sequentially changes the in-out nature of the text. Note if you try and delete that ellipse layer your text will revert to straight text.Įxperimenting again. You can turn the visibility of the ellipse layer off and you will have the text alone. Click that arrow and you will get two extra layers one with text and the other with the ellipse. Over on your Layers palette you will see your vector layer above a raster layer and beside the Vector layer a white arrow. It should be surrounded by a bounding box and you can move the text along your ellipse to position it where you want, so long as you have a 4 headed arrow.ħ. ( By usinglarger positive or negative values you can have that text placed on different sides of the ellipse line). Select your text (Control A or drag cursor over that text) and top right on the same bar as you chose your stroke width you will see three horizontal lines - More Options - here you can change your offset value to move the text away from the ellipse line by choosing say 10 pixels. Type in text and should go from left to right following the curve path.Ħ.

I used to be able to do this (almost with my eyes closed!) hundreds of times in PSP 8. How do I create the text on the path so it has its own layer - and I can delete the only the ellipse? I tried adding an extra vector layer, but apparently I needed to add the text on the same layer as the selected ellipse for the text to know where to go. If I try to delete the vector ellipse (to leave only curved text) the text as well as ellipse are gone. Either it assumes that the curve was already drawn with the Pen Tool - or I used the wrong search terms. Reverse path by going to Objects >Edit >Reverse PathĬorel's Help page did not make that clear. That was it! The Pen Tool has to come into the mix. The text should appear inside the ellipse. With the cursor showing text on the curve, click to add text (SHifT + Click if you prefer to use the textbox) If it looks like with the brackets that is going to enable text wrapping which is not what you want. The cursor should look like a T on a curve. Now grab your text tool and hover over the edge of the ellipse. Next Reverse the path by going to Objects -> Edit -> Reverse Path So the first thing you have to do is convert the ellipse into a path. But ellipse shapes are not regular paths, they are specifically defined shapes with their own settings.
You had a preset shape tool with an elliptical preset shape. In PSP8 you didn't have a separate ellipse shape tool. There is just a single extra step at the beginning. And as far as I know it's very similar to PSP8. Select the minimum version of PSP you want to be compatible with.Ģ) Yes it can. Select the PSPImage format, then click on the "Options" button in the bottom right-hand corner. To save a file that can be opened in previous versions of PSP go to File -> Save As. 1) PSPImage files are not completely backwards compatible.
