Warped Text in PS CS6

I need help in typing text along a curved path in PS CS6.   I have watched and read several on-line tutorials and they all seem to say about the same thing and seem pretty simple.   I create a path using the pen tool.  Next I select the Type tool.  I position the cursor over the path where I want to start typing.   The cursor changes to show the little curved line.   I left click once.    A bar perpendicular to the path appears.    I start typing and nothing appears.   I think I have the font size & color properly selected, because I have no difficulty in typing text in an ordinary text box.   Any idea as to what I am doing wrong?

Type something and OK it.  Then either double click the type layer, or use Free Transform on the type layer.  Either will highlight the text showing its size etc.

And yet you have not text, could it possibly be that you are wrong?

  • Control handles or points and warping text

    The transform controls in Photoshop CS6 disappear as soon as I click on the warp mode icon, preventing me from manually warping the layer on which I am working. Oh sure, I can click on Show Transform Controls and, voila, there they are. But as soon as I click on the icon that switches me between warp and free transform, the handles disappear (no mesh either) and without them there is no way to manually warp text or images. Because this used to work perfectly in CS5, I am just a tad frustrated. None of the prebuilt warp modes involve perspective (although I understand this option is maybe, perhaps, it's possible, coming at some point in the future) I can't even get the look I'm after with any prebuilt mode.
    3D doesn't offer a simple perspective tool either. Yes, it does a lot, but not what I want.
    So, why do the handles disappear and how can I get them to stick when I need them?
    And, yes, I do have View > Extras active. Or at least the option is checked as active.
    Thank you for any help.

    PECourtejoie, That was a lot of text! I did not include most of it, but I did include anything related to the video card. I hope I included what you need. If not, I can copy the whole shebang. Thank you for all your help.

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. It came installed on my HP Desktop. I am can not get the warp text tool to work. It has worked in the past. Once I click warp text, the little window does not pop up, and if I try to do anything else after I click warp text, it wont let me. Just sounds the ding, alert, can still slightly navigate the program but can not use any other tools after clicking warp text. I just have to open task manager and close the program. not sure if I'm doing something wrong or maybe I just need to uninstall and re install. Having trouble finding out how to uninstall and reinstall because the program came pre installed on my desktop.

    It actually sounds like the warp text window is opening off screen.
    Resetting the photoshop elements 10 preferences should fix it.
    *Press and hold the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after you start the launch of the photoshop elements 10 editor
    *Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop elements setting file
    *Press Yes

  • Warp text in flash such as arcing or bending

    is there any way to warp text in flash such as arcing or
    bending

    yes, but it's not easy and definitely not a beginning a.s.
    project. you can distribute your text into different textfields
    that you arrange in an arc or you can use the bitmapdata class and
    its displacementmap filter.

  • Help! How do I warp text to fit a ribbon?

    Hi,
    Does anybody know how to warp text to fit a shape - in this case a ribbon? Attached are two pics, hopefully showing what I'm trying to achieve!
    The pencil sketch shows how the text should roughly be the second shows the clear paths that I want the text to warp to. I need the text to fill the shape of the ribbon and flow (top and bottom as if were printed on) - not just by using the clunky text path tool as shown.
    Is this possible in Illustrator?

    The closest I can come to duplicating the effect you want is with the 3D effect, and mapping the text to the object. Type the text and save the text object as a Symbol. Draw the ribbon as a single path, then apply a 3D Extrude & Bevel, then apply the text (as a Symbol) to that. These last two steps can be done in the same step. Here's a quick attempt:

  • Keyframe using the puppet warp tool in photoshop CS6?

    Is there any extension or way that will allow me to keyframe using the puppet warp tool in photoshop CS6?
    I'm doing 2d animation, and I need to draw lines that I can immediately animate using puppet warp (you can't draw in after effects).

    I am removing a dust spot from video clips taken during an aerial shoot. I have discovered that the only effective way to remove these spots effectively is to use PS6 and go frame by frame using the paint brush, clone stamp, and spot healing brush. It is very time consuming and mind numbing but the only thing that works with all tha movement of the aircraft and the ground below.
    My question:
    Right now to advance the clip one frame at a time - I must magnify the time line so to see the frame by frame lables. To advance to the next frame I must remove my cursor from the work area and go down to the time line and click on the next frame.
    How can I advance to the next frame with a keyboard stroke and not move my cursor out of the work area?
    Thank you in advance for any help.

  • Problem with warp text tool

    I have a text layer which I want to do some warping to. When I hit the warp text tool all the options are greyed out ??? Any help ? Incidentally, I tried to just transform warp it but no "handles" appear...

    In the create warped text dialog did you click on one
    of the options in the dropdown menu. (it's always on none
    unless you already have some warped text)

  • Is there a way to Auto-Correct Spelling of text as I write text in Dreamweaver CS6 ?

    While I write text on the html pages using Dreamweaver CS6 (Adobe Cloud downloaded version 2014), there is only an option to Spell Check the page.
    But I am asking if there is a way to set preferences to auto-correct suggestions such as how Word Docs offer solutions to mis-spelled words?

    Thank you for your replies.
    I am using Adobe, Creative Cloud /  Dreamweaver Software Program iMac Downloads, updated to current.
    I believe there not to be the feature present in Dreamweaver on "Page View" to Spell Correct Automatically by giving word options, etc.
    I know to spell check the entire page before posting the page(s) live.
    I am not only writing in code view, designing HTML 5 pages, but  I am the Author and Editor of all content as well.
    I can see how the coders would hate having text auto correct.
    But, on the editor side, as a writer, from the page view, ... it would rock as an option.

  • Using overset text in Indesign CS6

    I'm a designer who usually works in Illustrator.  However, I just created my first catalog in Indesign CS6 and all my overplaced text on photos and
    text layered over text effects are all coming up as errors. Can you please let me know if I need to put the text all on separate layers. In Illustrator I simply choose Appearance and select overprint.  Please help.

    ....just figured it out.  I realized my text boxes have an extra return in them....by turning on hidden characters, I was able to view the extra return.   Thanks anyway!  

  • Cant add effects to text in Premiere CS6

    Hey Guys,
    I'm trying to add noise to some text in Premiere Pro 6 but no luck, I used CS5 before this and all was fine, I could just drag effects onto the text and all was fine.
    Am I doing something wrong? Is it add effects to still, or default roll? Do things work differently in CS6?
    Thanks for the help!

    Am I doing something wrong?
    Well...exactly what are you doing?

  • Warp stabiliser in Premiere CS6 crashes

    Hi
    Been playing with Premier CS6 since downloading yesterday.
    I am getting regular crashes (windows tells me premiere has stopped working)
    I add a clip onto he timeline, I add the warp stabiliser, analyise then play back - I go back to effects to change some warp settings, and the crash occurs.
    Anyone else seeing this before I report to adobe
    Thanks
    Chris Anderson

    Project file WITHOUT Warp Stabilizer on my clip was 3.5MB.  WITH Warp Stabilizer it jumped to 7.6MB....
    Now you're seeing it...
    Here's where I realized something was amiss: I had a less than two minute sequence, all hand-held footage, that I wanted to stabilize. There were only about 6 or 7 clips in the sequence, and no other effects. I dropped Warp Stabilizer on the clips, and let it analyze... it took awhile, but I was OK with that. When it was done, despite Warp Stabilizer being a GPU-accelerated effect (after analysis), most of the clips were red bar. Hmm...
    So, thinking maybe I just needed a restart, I saved my project. And I waited. And I waited some more. About a minute later, my project final stopped saving. Weird. So I tried to do something in the Timeline... and it was like running through a tar pit.
    I killed off Pr, and went to check my project file... it was over 50MB... for a 7 clip, less than two minute sequence. That's a problem. When I finally got the project open again, I purged all the Warp Stabilizer instances, and saved a new copy of the project. This time, it was about 1.3MB. That is a HUGE difference, all attributed to Warp Stabilizer. Needless to say, I'm very reluctant to Warp Stabilizer do its damage to my project files, regardless of how good the output is.
    So, let this be a cautionary tale. If you think you'll only need to stabilize a few seconds here or there, or you're totally cool with working in a completely different project to stabilize your footage (though look how well that worked for me), go for it. Fair warning...

  • How do I typeset vietnamise text in Indesign CS6. Client is saying I need to use Unicode!?

    Can anyone help me. I have a word document from the client thats in vietnamise. I copied and pasted the text and used Ariel regular in CS6.
    the client has come back saying:
    Our Vietnamese translators have advised there is a problem with the font on the two attachments. They suspect it may be because of using VNI font instead of Unicode, and as a result they are unable to read these documents.
    Does anyone know how I can solve this?
    Thank you.

    You need to have fonts with Vietnamise characters. For example Minion Pro. That is all.
    --edited--
    You can convert this text in any good text editor,  which has the option "Reopen using encoding", For example Text Wrangler.
    Yu can convert every Vietnamise glyphs using grep in InDesign too. But it is very time consuming job.

  • Adding a Drop Shadow to text in InDesign CS6

    I have no character styles in my recent installation of Cloud InDesign CS6 and want to know how I import these effects.

    Character Styles and Drop Shadow, (an object-level effect), are not related. There is nothing to import.
    To apply a drop shadow to text, select (black arrow) the text frame and choose Drop Shadow from the fx menu at the bottom of the Effects panel, (Window > Effects). The Drop Shadow dialog opens where you set the parameters of the effect.

    I am new to InDesign CS6 (upgraded from CS4) and after advice when attempting PDF form creation.
    Is there a way of defining text style of text colour font for the form field,
    (in the same way thay is possible if I was editing the PDF within in the text properties of Acrobat).
    Or do I need to export and change the font and colour properties from Acrobat (which would be a shame).
    thanks

    Short answer…no, you can’t do that in InDesign.
