Hello

In Photoshop CS, how can I write a somewhat long email all around the base of a CD? Like in a semicircle?

I've chosen the T tool with the curved arrow below, but it doesn't look good: the text puffs up in the middle and tapers off at the ends; I want it to be in regular text but evenly distributed.

See you+

    Two years later, sure ... but as long as there are newbies, such answers will always attract attention!

    Well then ...
    I work on PS CS3 (maybe it's available in earlier versions ...)
    And for those who don't know, you can write along a vector curve, so a circle for example!

    1- Draw a circle using the ellipse tool (vector) in path mode
    2- With the text tool, place the cursor over the circle's path (a slash appears in the middle of the cursor): where you want to start your text, then click!
    3- The path is then linked to the text layer ;)

    This avoids having to do (not very convenient) curved text in Illustrator, vectorize the result, copy, and paste into a shape layer in PS.

    Hoping this helps ...
