Text around a circle/ellipse
Hello.
I am using Photoshop 5.0, and was wondering how to place text along the border of an ellipse or a circle. I need to do something similiar to the Survivor logo (http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor/).
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Justin's reference is good but it's a real pain in the a** to do for large amounts of text.

True, though I'm not sure there is any easier way available.. Do you know of one? If so, please share it

A guy I work with says he uses another graphics package (Print Master I think) to make the bent text then adds it to the graphic in Photoshop.

Illustrator can do that very easily (Its built in). You can then import it or copy/paste it into Photoshop.

Two suggestions:
#1 Photoshop 6 has new added support for making text follow a path of sorts that you can customize. It does this in vector mode so the text is totally flexible. Only downfall to this is that you have to snag photoshop 6 which just came out and isn't cheap.
#2 Adobe Illustrator 9 is a great choice if you're into web design. You can vector everything all out including wrapping text to any shape and save it then import it as rastor into Photoshop and textorize it or manipulate it however you need.
