lklf Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 After I draw a curve using the pen tool. Is these anyway I can write my text along that curve (like you can do in CS Photoshop)? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted December 12, 2015 Staff Share Posted December 12, 2015 Hi lklf, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Select the Artistic Text Tool, place the cursor over the path (you should see a small wave appearing below the T) click and start typing.

barninga Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 meb, something escapes me. i start with a new, empty document. i select the pen tool and draw a line, then i drag its nodes to make it a simple curve. i then select the artistic text tool. at this point: - a box appears around the curve, as if it had been selected with the move tool - if i hover the cursor over the curve, i see no wave under the A (the artistic text tool shows an A; while a T is shown for the frame text tool) - red horizontal lines and vertical green lines appear when the cursor position corresponds to the image center or to the side of other objects in it, but no wave under the cursor - if i click any point of the curve, the box around it disappears and the text blinking cursor appears where i clicked - at this point, if i type any text, it does not follow the curve. where am i doing wrong? thank you stefano Quote take care, stefano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Cartwright Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 In Designer I get exactly what MEB describes: when one has a path and selects the Artistic Test Tool, the large "A" converts into a smaller "T" (with a wave-like shape beneath it) when one hovers on the path. I do not see this in Photo. Should we? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barninga Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 hello william, thank you for clarifying things. i am an affinity photo user indeed. maybe it is just a misunderstanding, in that i presumed (my fault) lklf's post was about photo. maybe having separate forums for photo end designer would help in avoiding such kind of misunderstandings... and yes, a "text along path" feature would be useful in photo too.

Staff MEB Posted January 4, 2016 Staff Share Posted January 4, 2016 Hi William Cartwright, barninga Sorry, i should have pointed that, text on a path is only available in Affinity Designer. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evtonic3 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 If you have both apps, just go back and forth between the apps with the "edit in Designer" function. Make your text on curve there and bring it back to Photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lucky Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Is there away to get a curve like this? (Photoshop lower arch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 23, 2017 Staff Share Posted January 23, 2017 Hi Mr Lucky, You can get a similar effect in Affinity Photo using the Mash Warp Tool however this will rasterize the layer. Currently, there's no way to do it in Designer unless you convert the text to shapes and adjust their nodes manually.

Bri-Toon Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Mr Lucky, There is however a mesh warp tool on Affinity Designer's roadmap, so this feature can be accomplished in the some time future. There is no guarantee when it will come out though. Corny Joke: There are two Fs in Affinity, and there are two Fs in coffee, and coffee rocks.
