How to type text in a circular shape around an image without warping it?

I'm an intermediate user of Photoshop. I've unsuccessfully wrapped text in a circular shape without distorting it. The 'warp text' feature is does to achieve the appearance I seek. If possible, what are the steps to successfully do it in Photoshop.
Thanks in Advance!

To create a ring of type as seen in Fig. 6:
1. Open a new file (File > New) with the same height as its width, perhaps ten inches square and then type the sentence that is to create the circle (Fig. 1)
2. Converting the type line to a circle reduces its height. To compensate for that, choose Edit > Transform > Scale. Drag the type to about twice its height (Fig. 2)
3. Choose the Move tool and shift the type line close to – but not touching – the left edge. (Fig 3)
4. Choose the Crop tool. In the Options bar change Unconstained to 1 x 1 (Square). Then drag the right corner handle of the Crop diagonally until there is a one-letter space between the last letter of the type line and the right edge of the square. (Fig. 4) OK
5. Center the line vertically. (Fig 5)
6. Choose Select > All. Then, choose Filter > Distort > Polar Coordinates. Rasterize the type when asked. Radio button should be set to Rectangular to Polar. To preview the image, adjust the percent listed below the inset illustration. Click OK. The result: Fig 6
7. Choose Select > Deselect and, for final housekeeping, choose the Crop tool and return the Options bar to Unconstrained.
8. Save the file in psd format so that the circle of type remains on a transparent surround and the layer may be floated onto another image.
Remember: A rasterized image will lose sharpness with enlargement. It would be prudent to use the circle of type at same size or smaller.

How can I put some text on a circular shape and make it visible in a Picture?

I work with LabVIEW 5.1.1 (FDS), the Picture Control Toolkit and IMAQ 4.1.1.
I'd like to make some text to flow on a circular shape of given radius just like I can do with the most common graphic programs like CorelDraw!
How can I do?

A new overlay VI was developed to address the need to add text to an image easily.
IMAQ Overlay Text (Functions >> Vision Utilities >> Overlay).
- It is available in IMAQ Vision 6.0 (which requires LabVIEW 5.1 or greater).
It will allow you to rotate text, but it currently does not support circular shapes.

How can I create a vector path boundary around an image?

I have enclosed a screenshot of an image created in Photoshop CS4 with a wacom. It shows a grey boundary stroke around the entire image which was created with edit/stroke, then color and width of stroke selected.
What I want to do is to bring this image into Illustrator CS4 and create a vector path boundary aroun d the image in the same way as the stroke boundary in Photoshop. But I dont know how to do thatx except by doing it manually with the pen tool.
Does anyone know if it is possible to create a vector path around the image in a similar way that I created the stroke line around the image in Photoshop?
I need the vector path to make a cutting line for a laser cutter, which works with vector files.
Thanks for any advice about this.

Not only should you draw the cut path deliberately with the Pen Tool, but that entire illustration should have been drawn as vector paths to begin with. In fact, if it were me, I would do that now anyway. It's nicely done, but illustrations like that are much more versatile and valuable as a vector drawings, because they are infinitely scaleable withou degradation of sharpness.
Had it been drawn as vector paths, generating the outset cut line could be semi-automated by merging a copy of all the paths and then just outsetting the resulting path.
Vector illustrations like that, consisting of just a few colored fills and strokes, can be entirely cut and assembled from sign vinyl at any scale, rather than resorting to merely printing the artwork and then cutting around it.
Edits (recoloring, reshaping) can be easily made to vector paths without degradation, because each path is a separate object.
And whenever you do need a raster image, a raster image suitable for any purpose can be exported from a vector drawing at any time. Each such rasterization is pristine, because no re-rasterization is involved.
Not meaning to preach you a sermon; it just seems so many visitors here who have only used raster imaging don't even understand the reasons why vector drawing exists. This kind of graphic begs to be created as vector paths, and is also the very kind which would be ideal for vector-drawing beginners to start with. So it's just a good case-in-point.

How do I put a thin 1px rectangle around an image?

Using Photoshop CS5, can someone tell me how I put a thin 1px rectangle around an existing image
For example, imagine I have an image that 500px wide and 200 px high
I want a 10px gap all around and then I want the thin rectangle
What would the proper way of doing this?
Importantly, the image will be a PNG, so I want the gap around the image to be transparent
I'm planning to have on a black background, so want my rectangle to be a white line
+ is Photoshop the correct application to use to do this?
Thanks in advance
Omar

lee... i'm really happy with the results
only a small thing though: the outline sint 1px
i only noticed that afterwards
se the following 2 pics below
the first was created using ur method
the second was created by a longer manual process: say we have 100 x 100 pic. create a new pic with transparent background of 122 x 122. now create a white blank pic of 120 x 120 size. copy the white and put into 122x122. no from the layers menu, add a 1px stroke. now flatten. now erase the white - u now have the required outline!. create a new pic with transparent background of size 122x122. copy and paste both th eoriginal pic and new outline pic. hey presto, 50 steps later, u have what i wanted.
problem is it's 50 steps
i like ur solution. this can be automated. the second solution can't be automated: BUT it gives the 1px outline i wanted!
let me know what u think
thanks

How to create a fancy picture frame border around an image

Hi there,
Does anybody know how to create a fancy picture frame around
an image that's inside an AP DIV? I want the image to look like
it's a picture hanging on the wall. Any of your guru's know how to
do that - eh then?
Thanks a mill for any help!

Find or use your graphics program to create an image of a
frame you like.
Size it so its inside measurements match your picture.
Option 1 - Paste your picture image on the frame image and
insert in your container.
Option 2 - Place your frame image as a non-repeating
background for your container and then insert your picture.

How to add text to a polygon shape?

I created a triangle:
<Polygon Name="triangle_top" Points="0,0 130,0, 130,130" Stroke="Black" />
I would like to add text to it without adding a label.
how should I do it?

You should either not mark a thread as answered ( closed) or ask a new question on a new thread.
I would start by removing the margin, but that's because there is no way of knowing how big that grid is from your code.
<Grid x:Name="topTriangle" >
<Polygon Name="triangle_top" Points="0,0 130,0, 130,130" Stroke="Black" Fill="Red" MouseEnter="triangle_MouseEnter" MouseLeave="triangle_MouseLeave" />
<TextBlock Name="text_top" FontSize="25" Text="55" Foreground="Black" />
</Grid>
Hope that helps.

How to type text while making a phone call

I was topping-up my pay-as-you-go account today and keying in my credit card info when O2 autobot asked me for my postcode. How on earth do you use the letters on the alphanumeric keypad???

if you are asking how you send letters over a phone call... that is not possible... you can only send 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,*,# perhaps they just want you to press the number key with the letter on it? if this is the issue then you should contact O2 and ask them how to enter letters when prompted for a post code using the IVR system.
my original post:
text entry changes depending on what function you are doing...
the letters on the keypad in the phone application are just there to help you dial numbers that are listed with letters instead of numbers... for example 800 BUY NOW3 or 866HOLIDAY
if you wish to send a text message press the home button at the bottom of the screen and select the "Messages" icon... if you don't see it slide left or right on the screen with one finger until you find the page it is on.
once your in messages you can create a new message and when you do so you will find the on screen keyboard changes to a alphabetic one to let you enter the messages. if you need other symbols and numbers on that keyboard press the "123" at the bottom.

How to fill text with the negative of the background image

I have a picture of grass as the background. I am trying to put text on the image, and have the fill of text be colored as the negative of the background grass image colors. To represent what I wish to do, I demonstrated the color I wish to obtain inside the fill by highlighting the text over the image. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Pinipples,
As I (mis)understand it, you may:
1) Copy/replace the image on top of itself;
2) Invert the colours of the copy image;
3) Place the text (which may be live Type) on top of the copy image, select both (not the original image), and Object>Clipping Mask>Make.

Max,
Open your picture fileAccess the cookie cutter tool in the toolbox. On the tool's option bar, click on the fly-out for the crop shapes. Select the circular shape (it's all black). Hold down the shift key on the keyboard and drag out the circle to embrace what you wish to retain. You can drag the circle to adjust further, then crop.
To add text, get the type tool and type the text. This will be on a separate layer. Note that there are areas of transparency (checkerboard pattern) outside the circlular area.
Use the Paintbucket tool to fill these areas. The tool uses the foreground color.
Another option would be to place a layer below the circle layer and fill it with a pattern or whatever you want.
Feel free to repost if this is not clear.

How can type a word on an image in Ps and change the text box background

How can I type a word on an Image in Ps and change the background of the text box

Photoshop doesnt have an ability to fill a text box so you will have to create a layer underneath the text layer. A shape layer work work well. That can be filled and stroked quite easily with editability.

How to center text in shapes

how to center text in shapes. specifically circles. I want text to be centered directly in the middle

A lot depends on what you mean by centered, the number of lines of text, the actual font, and whether there are descenders.
Using vertical justification set to centered may or may not work for you, depending on the above factors, as it depends on the baseline, I believe, rather than the acutal glyph dimensions. You could try adding baseline shift, I suppose, to make fine vertical adjustments, or you can bite the bullet and use the old-fashioned method of two frames.
