xcopper69 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Well, ok... newbie here. I do consulting work in business efficiencies, concentrating on private security companies. I prepare graphics of suggested changes... in this case, Im recommending a change in shoulder patch design. Ive read the previous posts... but I still cant figure it out. In this example, I want to put the wording "PRIVATE SECURITY" in the banner panel at the top of this patch design, bending the letters to the curve of the panel WITHOUT distorting or shrinking the letters themselves. Can somebody walk me thru it? Ive d/l Rec-to-Polar and all the other plug-ins but it just aint working for me yet. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Type text on a new layer, use align object plugin to center the text, then use tube effect plugin to curve the text. Select the text , then move the selection to the location you want. Merge text layer down. Done.

xcopper69 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Well, i'll be damned! Wow... thanks! In the example that I attached, that's how i've been forwarding my illistrations: adding the text with a line from the text to it's suggested location within the graphic. Now I can show what I REALLY mean! Fantastic! Q: I'd like a'bit more "droop" to the lettering at opposite ends... I just need to adjust the X'Y axis, right? (dumb question, I know... but I aint had my coffee & donuts yet!) LOL :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamB Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Thanks Ash. FYI I did use Search for Annular and got ZIP. I actually found I could do it in Word, using Word Art, then print to PDF using PrimoPDF, save it in PhotoShop as a .png file and import into Paint.Net. A long-winded process but it got the desired result. TFYH GrahamB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gave a great Tubular effect, which I have often wanted, and that was the first Plugin I have down loaded since starting with Paint.Net this month.

Ash Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Have you checked out the other links in this thread? (2nd post.) I mentioned a few more methods in them. Polar transformation should be better for your case. Let me know if they work for you. BTW, you can keep replies in your own question thread. Good luck.
