I know i can do this like this, but I mean something like in illustrator :) You using archs in text and you can modify this as you want

Please excuse my ignorance, MazeDesigner, but I've never used Adobe Illustrator. What can you do with text on a path in Illy that you can't do with text on a path in AD? :unsure:

Hi MazeDesigner,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

Currently Affinity Designer doesn't have Warp Effects like Illustrator.

Soon we will have a Mesh Warp distortion tool. It's not parametric as Illustrator's effects but it should help a little.

Feel free to add this to the Feature Requests section.

I don't know if this describes what I'm trying to achieve but I want a curved text. Is this still not available?

You can create text on a path in Affinity Designer – see the Vimeo link in my first post to this thread – but not in Affinity Photo. Affinity Designer still doesn't have a Mesh Warp/Distortion Tool, but it's on the 1.x roadmap.
