- Flip the text to the other side of the path. Press and hold the
Ctrl key (� on the Mac) and hover the cursor over the bottom
of the text (roughly the O in COMPLETE) to get the I-beam
with the double arrow. Then drag upward. Photoshop flips the
text to the other side of the path, turning it right-side-up, as
shown in Figure 11-54. - Select all the type. Next we need to nudge the type down using
a function called baseline shift, which raises or low ers selected
characters with respect to their natural resting position, the
baseline. Press Ctrl+A (or �-A) to select all the characters in
the new text layer. - Bring up the Character panel.
Click the Character tab if it’s al-
ready on screen. Otherwise, choose
Window→Character or press the
shortcut Ctrl+T (�-T). - Set the baseline shift. In the Char-
acter panel, click the icon that looks
like a capital letter paired with a
superscript one ( ) to select the
baseline shift value, highlighted in
Figure 11-55. Then enter –8.5 to
shift the letters down 8.5 points,
which translates to about 18 pixels
inside this 150 ppi image.
You can also nudge the baseline shift
value incrementally from the keyboard.
Press Shift+Alt+� (or Shift-Option-�)
to lower the characters 2 points at a
time. Shift+Alt+� (or Shift-Option-�)
raises the characters.Press Enter on the keypad to ac-
cept your changes. (If the baseline
shift value is selected, you may have
to press Enter twice.) This com-
pletes the text on the circle. Now
let’s move on to warping some text.Figure 11-54.
