curved words, by jonesy on May 17, 2008 18:48:36 GMT 1, Any advice on how to get lettering to follow the curve of a sphere, like Ministry of Sound logo? Have tried freehand but looks poor, is there something on photoshop or word art that would do it...have looked but am still a novice with PS..any pointers gratefully received...thanks

curved words, by stillborncrisps on May 18, 2008 11:13:29 GMT 1, In Photoshop there's a filter called Warp Text which will distort live text (ie it remains editable) into arcs, waves, curves, and I think spheres. You sometimes have to play with the tracking a bit though as the filter can make the letter spacing look a bit odd.
Or, if you rasterize your type layer (done through the Type menu) there's a general filter called Spherize. Where your text sits and how big it is within the main canvas affects the centerpoint of the spherizing. You can roughly redefine this centerpoint by making a selection around the text with the marquee tool before applying the spherize filter.
Unless you're using CS3, once you apply the spherize filter you can't go back and adjust it. With the first option (Warp text) you can.
