Aammppaa Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I'm afraid it looks like Text on a Path is a feature of Designer, but not Photo.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, @bakdoc. Are you looking for something like this text on a path: Or are you looking for something like this, where the text flow follows the outline of another object (in this case, an ellispse): Or do you mean something like this, where the text is enclosed within an object: You can do that last one in Photo. The first require functions from Designer or Publisher (which is the nearest Affinity equivalent to Page Plus, I think). The second was done (easily) in Publisher, but could be done in Photo by constructing a shape and then turning it into a Text Frame and filling it with the text. That's what was done for the last one, but the shape in the second one would be harder to construct.  Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC:    Desktop:  Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090   Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad:  iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
