 How
to place text on inside of circle
This
psp tutorial is closely related to the
Text on a
Circle tutorial, except it will place the text inside the circle path. STEP
1 Open
a new image. The size and backgound color will be your choice but for this tutorial
we will use the following.
200 x 200 Pixels
White background
16 Million colors  STEP
2
Click
on the Preset Shapes Tool 
and apply settings.
Shape Type = Ellipse
Retain Style = Checked
Create as Vector = Checked
Line Style = Solid  STEP
3
Draw
out your shape. You
will notice that you now have a square outline around your shape as seen at right,
with smaller boxes which are called "nodes". The nodes allow
you to pull your vector shape which ever way you want. STEP
4
You are now ready to add your text.  Click
on your Text Tool 
and then place the cursor over the circles outline. Your cursor should turn into
an "A" with a smile underneath, as shown right.
 When
this cursor shape appears, left click on your image to bring up the Text Box.
Type in your required text. Make sure that Antialias and Create as Vector
is Checked.
Click
OK and your text will appear along the path of the circle.  STEP
5
You now need
to invert the text so that it appears on the inside of the circle.
Click on the Vector Object Selector Tool 
and then "right" click on your image. This will bring
up a dialogue box. At the bottom of this box, left click on Node Edit.
This will hide your text and leave just the circle as shown at right.
 STEP
6
Right
click your image again. Select Edit and then click Reverse Path. STEP
7 Right
click on your image again and select Quit Node Editing.  STEP
8
Now
grab the handle in the middle of the circle and pull your text into the required
position. Go
to Selections || Select None and save as. You
can add a new layer and stick in a tube of your choice or complete any other editing
that you require. The end result is fantastic.
