Shema Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Hi everyone, I'm designing a label and need to manipulate the arch of some text to perfectly align with a curved area in the label. What's the best/easiest way to accomplish this in Affinity Photo? Thanks so much in advance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted July 11, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 11, 2019 Hi Shema, Welcome to Affinity Forums There is no text-path functionality in Affinity Photo (to make text follow a path). However this is available in Affinity Designer. If you own both you can switch the document to Affinity Designer going to menu File > Edit in Designer... then select the path you want to use for the text, pick the Artistic Text Tool, move the cursor over the path until it changes to a "T" with a small have below, click and start typing. The text will follow the path. Let me know if I have misunderstood your issue/question. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestCoastPDX Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Don't know about A.Photo, but here are videos that show how to do it in Affinity Designer. Which you can easily apply working in A.Photo. The first one is how to do Text in Shapes. Other two how to do Text on a Path. https://player.vimeo.com/video/162509010/ https://player.vimeo.com/video/121762536/ https://player.vimeo.com/video/121654574/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
