Adobe PhotoShop Filters!

Hi!

Does anyone know of a filter that will work in Adobe PhotoShop that will allow you to curve the text in a circle, like I have done with my logo: http://www.1simple.com/images/simple.gif (ignore quality - it is a trans.)

I used the filter extensis.com and it worked great, but it is $150, not reasonable to me, just for the little job it does.

Doesn't Adobe offer this for free or is there any other free filter like this that will do the same job?

Any helpful information will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You!

I've never heard of a filter that could do that, but Paint Shop Pro, and Adobe Illustrator both can do the same thing.

Yeah... I don't think there is a filter that does this. None that I know of, anyway.

I would tell you how to do it, or point you to a tutorial, but it looks like you already know how to make circular text yourself Smiling

There is, extensis.com is a filter that did it for me.

I don't know how to do it with just Adobe, I had to use that filter, but it expired already.

Thanks

You can probably also find tutorials on curving text at Phone (www.phone.com) or Wasted Youth (www.wastedyouth.org).

Thanks everyone for your help.

I wasn't sure if you could do that without that special filter, but I guess you can. I never knew that.

Thanks for the tip, I really appreciate it.

Thank You!
