text wrapping

[tanyas]

Does anyone have any idea how to wrap text around an image in photoshop :confused:

Thanks

CS2 Appearently has a way to wrap text. Otherwise, try importing the pict into Illy, wrap text there, and export text back to Photoshop.

I assume you're doing this with a title you want to do funky effects with, and not body text, in which case, I don't recommend using Photoshop.

I haven't used my CS2 package enough to give advice on it yet. Others will know.

Text wrap isn't available in Photoshop CS2 to the best of my knowledge. Searching through help and the Adobe forum for Photoshop came up with nothing either.

If you follow Ovaltine's advice and start by doing the wrap in Illustrator, you can hide the object the text is wrapping around (it will still respect the wrap). However, instead of exporting it to Photoshop, save the Illustrator fiile as .ai format, then in Photoshop, go to File>Place, and place your wrapped type. This will bring it in as a Smart Object. You can apply all layer effects and transformations on a Smart Object.

The advantage to doing it this way is that if you decide to edit the text later, you simply make your text changes to the Illustrator file, and then update the smart object with "Replace Contents" in the Photoshop file.

This is only possible with CS2, by the way.

I don't know if someone else has a simpler workaround, but that's how I did it.
