 Posted: Fri Mar 11, 2005 7:58 am Post subject: Wrapping Text Within A Selection? |
 |
|
This should be embarrassingly easy, but I can't seem to find how to find out how to do it.
Look at the attached picture. I want the text (I've blurred it in the attachment because it contains names and I'm paranoid) to only be within the foot. So far I've done it by having a different 'text box' at every line and varying the length of the box. A very inelegant way to be done as it creates several problems, not the least of which is that I can't insert anything without copious amounts of text-box moving.
How can I make the text-box 'custom shaped' (i.e. it follows the contours of a selection)? Or just make the text only be within a selection?

I'm not sure there is an easy way to do this. I've never seen an option for it. There should be a way to define a path as a text area so you can justify text to a shape like you want to do.

I think that it could be done by rasterizig the the text and applying a displacement map.

Counter to what I advised Vicsun in another forum, you can draw a closed path with the pen tool in PSCS and it will change to a type area when you start typing in it. (Type cursor will change from brackets around the I beam to parentheses.)
I don't think Vicsun wants to make the type look like it is on the sole, just be in the shape of the bottom of the foot.

Cool. Yeah. And let me know if you find ANY reference to this in the PS Help file. As far as I see, PS Help file only describes how to enter and edit type along the edge of an open path.

Image Ready or Illustrator allows you to do it - I don't remember which.
For yearbook we've gone all digital, and that's how we wrap text around some of the pictures we have - one of those programs.
I'm a photographer, so i just fiddle with the pictures, so I don't know the steps involved. But if you have either of the two I'd check them out and see if you can't search the Help options there.
