Staff MEB Posted March 19, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 19, 2019 Hi Tibreizh, Welcome to Affinity Forums Draw a circle, select the Artistic Text Tool and move the cursor over it until it switched to a T with a small wave. Click on the circle (on the bottom, inside it) and start writing. Use the Baseline control in the context toolbar to move the text to outside the circle. Check the following two video tutorials for more details: - Text on a Path: Overview - Text on a Path: Worked Example NOTE: thread moved to Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows) section.

John Rostron Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Note that this only works in Affinity Designer.

wonderings Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I hate when people do text in Photoshop and seems the same is true with Photos. Photo is a photo editing app, you really should be doing text in Designer or Publisher unless you are doing some weird special effects to your text. Text is not vector in Photoshop or in Photos. I made a letter E and exported as a high res JPG. I put a letter E in publisher and placed the JPG beside it. The difference is obvious. Left is Photos and is pixelated. Right is Publisher and is flawless, you could enlarge that 1000% and not lose resolution. Edit your photo in Photos, for text move along to Designer or Publisher... if you want clear sharp text.
