Text on Paths with Vertical Strokes, Please!


Recommended Posts

What does this mean exactly? Text on paths.  With vertical strokes.  As a long time user of both of those programs, I feel like it must be something I've used all the time, but I don't recognize it from the description.  I wonder if you are describing text on a path with the "arched" effect vs the "arc" effect.  The arch is vertical, while the arc causes the vertical part of the letters to follows the angle of the path.

Currently I know of no simple straightforward way to do vertical text.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Hi @j_random_guy and @Kuttyjoe

I'm not the OP but I've seen this post earlier this day. I understood the question that he or she is looking for something like this:

This can be accomplished to some extent in APh with the Mesh Warp Tool. But it is not very exact because it is not possible to constrain the moves to a vertical direction.

You cannot do this in Designer, but in Photo you can do it with Filter > Distort > Shear.
