MaNotary Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Hello, First, I'd like to say that I'm new to the forum. I did a quick search on how to add circular and/or curved text to my image; however, nothing works correctly for me!! :oops: I've been at this for several hours now and can't do it!! **I have a headache now!** A few hours ago I downloaded the Paint.net v3.30 Beta. That is what I'm working with........ I'm trying to edit a logo/graphic for my legal support Network. The graphic can be found here: http://www.ips-notary.com/img/fpdEagle3.GIF I'm trying to add circular/curved text at the top and bottom of the circle. The top should read, "United States Courts" (quotes removed) ----- while the bottom half should read, "Authorized Process Server" (quotes removed). Here is an example of the top half: http://www.ips-notary.com/img/fpdEagle.gif Now I can't figure out how to add text to the bottom half. Therefore, can someone assist me by editing the image for me??????? I know it's a long shot, but it will be greatly appreciated. You can edit the picture in the first link I sent you. I'm sure you ladies or gents can figure it out real quick! LOL It's probably the simplest request too! You can email the picture to me at Korey @ IPS-Notary dot com. (Note: I've been told in the past that I should NOT put my email address on forums because of automatic robots that will take my email address and will deliver SPAM/advertisements to my account.... I'm not sure if this is true... however better safe then sorry.) Thank you very much for your time and help. It is greatly appreciated! ~Korey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaNotary Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 How's this? That is exactly what I'm looking for!!! Thank you so very much!!! Can you advise me on how you did it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 You're welcome Main idea is the Shape3d plugin Cylinder mode You will need to flip the text after using shape3d, and move the text a bit. Edit: Easier method: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=23138 Think of the triangles as text Quote All creations Ash + Paint.NET [ Googlepage | deviantArt | Club PDN | PDN Fan ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjmcguinness Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 While I was beavering away, Ash beat me to it. I used a different method, involving Polar to Rect, add the text, then Rect to Polar. If you want full details I can write them up. -CJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjmcguinness Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Just one problem: In the U.S., it's spelled "Authorized." ;-) Duly noted and now corrected... What I did was... 1. Expand the canvas size to 3000 x 3000 (secondary colour transparent) 2. Run Polar to Rect effect (angular offset 90) 3. Create a new layer and insert the text, for width, where you want it to go (in this case between the stars) 4. Select and squash the height of the text to best fit. 5. Run Rect to Polar effect on each layer separately 6. Crop to get rid of exterior blank space 7. Align text as required to fit exactly.
