Easy Curved Text in PI4.2

This mini-tutorial will show you the quick and easy way to make curved text.


Open a new image and add some text. Go back to the Adding Text Mini-tutorial if you don't know how to do this.

Some Text

Choose "Path" from the text mode box.

Mode Box

Your image should look like this:

Path Mode selected

Place your cursor over one of the middle squares. Your cursor should change to a crosshair. Click and drag the square until you get the desired effect.

Move the square

Repeat this with all of the squares until you get the desired curve. I have created a very extreme curve.

Curved

Now, select 2D object or one of the 3D effects from the mode box to finish your text.

Curved Beveled Text

That's it!
