Photoshop Technique Help

[lefteyewilly]

I'm not sure i'm posting this in the right area, however, I am designing a rack card for a local museum. I am trying to get a paragraph to wrap to a curve. I don't want to manually space it just in case a text change occurs. Is there any help out there? I've posted the sample copy below.

Hey there,

Maybe my English is wack (french is my first language), but what's a Rack Card?

I don't understand what you're trying to do...

[lefteyewilly]

A rack card is a 2 sided brochure. It sits in a brochure rack (hence rack card). It's approximately 4"x9". The curve i want to wrap the paragraph to is the Yellowish design on the left of the attached image in my first post.

Ohh, ok, I think I know what you're saying. You want the text to follow the form of the yellow color?

I don't know how to do that in Photoshop.

But I can tell you how in to do it Illustrator and then you can import it in Photoshop, if you're interested?

Let me know

That was my next step, to use Illustrator. However, I don't have illustrator here at work, so what I may do is just work on it at home...or maybe i'll just do a redesign. I have pagemaker here, but I hate it.

But just in case someone is looking for the answer to this question for use in Illustrator, maybe you could do a tutorial for this technique.

Thanks for the help

Illustrator > Text tool > A inside the box icon.

Text inside a path. Make an oval and paste text inside.
