If your text is not quite evenly centered as in Figure 11-52, you may
need to reposition it slightly. Press the Ctrl key (or � on the Mac) and
move the cursor over the letters to get an I-beam with two arrows
beside it. Then drag the text to move it around the circle until the first E
and the last A are equidistant from the two red s. Small drags usually
produce the best results.When you have the type where you want it, press the Enter key
on the keypad (or Ctrl+Enter or �-Return) to accept the new
text layer and move on.- Copy the second line of type. Now to create the text along
the bottom of the circle. Switch to the Space text.psd window.
Double-click the T in front of the layer named Except (Bot-
tom Line) in the Layers panel to select the text. Then choose
Edit→Copy or press Ctrl+C (�-C). - Select the next layer down in the composition. Press Esc to
deactivate the text. Then return to the Space radio.psd com-
position. Press Alt+ (or Option- ) to select the Radio-Free
Space! layer. We’re doing this for two reasons: First, I want the
next layer you create to appear in front of this one. Second, it’ll
allow us to start with a fresh circle path instead of repurposing
the one used in the top layer. - Click along the bottom of the big
circle. Go to the Paths panel and
click the Big Circle item to once
again display the circle in the image
window. Still armed with the type
tool, click at the center of the bot-
tom of the circular path. Photo-
shop displays a blinking insertion
marker, this time emanating down
from the circle. - Paste the text. Again, choose
Edit→Paste or press Ctrl+V (�-V).
As before, Photoshop pastes the
text along the perimeter of the cir-
cle. But this time, the text comes
in upside-down, as shown in
Figure 11-53.
