- Click the type tool in the toolbox. Or press the T key.
As I mentioned, the horizontal type tool is the only text
tool you’ll ever need. It creates point text, area text, and
now, text on a path. - Click at the top of the big circle. When you move your
cursor over the circular path, the cursor changes slightly
to include a little swash through its center. This indi-
cates that you’re about to append text to the path. Click
the center-topmost point in the path to set the blinking
insertion marker on the path, as shown in Figure 11-51. - Paste the text. Choose Edit→Paste or press Ctrl+V (or
�-V). Photoshop pastes the text you copied back in Step 2
along the circumference of the path. The copied text was
centered, so the pasted text is centered as well, exactly at
the point at which you clicked in the preceding step. The
result is a string of characters that rest evenly along the
top of the circle, centered between the red s, as shown
in Figure 11-52.
