How can you do that? There is a command that will reverse the path BUT there is also a little step before you can do it. This can be sufficient in most situations, but sometimes, you may want to create the text that will be shaped in a counter-clockwise direction. In the case of an open path created with the Pen tool, it will go in the same direction that the path was created. Text in reverseīy default, the path of a shape will go clockwise. When you are happy, you click the checkmark to accept the text, just like you would do for any other text. Depending on the alignment you have set for the text, it will either go left, right or on both side of the anchor point, where you will click. Once you have your cursor ready to add to the path (B), you are ready to type your text. Once you activate the Text tool, and move your cursor close to the edge of the shape/design/path, you will see the traditional cursor will change shape: it will tilt to the left and will show a curve underneath (B) instead of a typical standing T (A). Once you have your vector object created, it is automatically considered a path for adding text. In addition, the Text tool itself can create a vector path, provided that the text is created as a Vector. The Pen tool will create a vector path, but so will the Ellipse tool, the Rectangle tool, the Preset Shape tool and the Symmetric Shape tool. Create the pathĪs mentioned above, the path can be made with different tools.
Although the process is very simple, there are a few tips that could help you make the most of this feature. The path could be a simple circle, but it could also be the contour of an element.
PaintShop Pro, like several other popular graphic programs, allow the user to add text along a specific path, to create various effects.
