JeremiahDirt Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I KNOW this has a simple solution. But for weeks now (watching YouTube vids looking for an answer)... I can't figure out how to simply 'curve' my text. I need to curve text to follow the circular path of a CD Layout. (to print text on the edge of a CD). All I could find is info on creating 'paths'... but I am horribly inexperienced with that and I'm hoping there is an easier way. I feel dumb asking... but here I am... asking. thanks for any help!

G13RL Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 If you are using Affinity Photo, there is no tool to put text around a circle, look here: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/108260-how-to-put-the-text-on-the-ellipse-shape-how-to-make-the-text-curved/ if that'll do the trick for you.

JeremiahDirt Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 Thank You @G13RL ! I was Hoping that wasn't the answer... You can do so much in Affinity Photo with Text... it seems you should easily be able to do this. But I love the program still... came over from Adobe PS... and NOT LOOKING BACK. do you use Affinity Designer as well? I have it... but havent really used it. I'm wondering if I could do this easily in there... Thanks again PS... I just read the whole thread you linked... it seems I could do it in Designer and then bring it over. Double thanks!!!

G13RL Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 For Designer, see the attached video. It concerns a text on the top of the circle and another on the bottom, both readable without turning your head. For a text all around the circle, you will need to adjust the position of the coloured triangles to position it correctly.
