spazman44 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 So I have searched and searched and for some reason I can't find how to easily and effectively do this Arch Text Effect, known in Adobe as Arc Lower. Lol for some reason doing this is not as easy in PDN or Inkscape. Does anyone have any secret knowledge on how to effectively accomplish this? And I'd love for it to be perfectly symmetrical and not a bootleg method like struggling with the liquify or smudge tool, lol. Thanks!

Red ochre Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 http://www.getpaint.net/search.html enter "arched text" Various ways - none perfect sadly, these are useful though. http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/24857-making-stretched-arch-shaped-text-over-oval-image/#6 (post 6 & 11) or this video puts text along a path https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWychkuByVg&feature=youtu.be Any way of distorting text tends to mess with the antialiasing so I would work big and resize smaller later. Good luck. 1 Quote Red ochre Plugin pack.............. Diabolical Drawings ................Real Paintings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spazman44 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Awesome thanks guys! Grid Warp is more like what I was looking for, but that other complicated method provides a better result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
