Adobe photoshop question?

I want to learn how to make text follow a circle or other curvy line -- I've heard you can do that in Adobe photoshop and I have occassional use of that through a friend of mine. Can anyone point me to a tutorial on how to do that (or if it's simple enough, explain it here)? I just want to make text going in a circle. Thanks.

Select the Ellipse tool in the Tools panel. You can do this by pressing letter 'U'. If it's a rectangle then hold 'Alt/Option' and then click it on the Tools panel or press 'Shift + U' until it is the Ellipse tool.



Before you draw a circle, go to the options panel at the top (if it's not there go to: Window %26gt; Options). With the Ellipse tool selected, click the Paths icon in the Options panel. Hover your cursor over the icons to see which on is the Paths icon The circle that you draw should be clear showing only the lines.



Next select the Text tool (T) and click your drawn circle's line. The cursor should change when you hover over the circle. You'll then create type on the path.



Voila!



To adjust where the type begins and ends use the Path Selection tool (A) and select near the beginning of the type you've inserted. Again the cursor should change when you hover near that area.
