I R having no idea.

Work magic with me, my Beautiful Assistants. Gasp, shock, I finally found something I don't know how to do in Photoshop.

While creating this new T.M.Revolution layout, I ran into a snag. Most of the graphics were hand drawn, and the 3D ribbon is no exception. However, after I drew the ribbon I realized I have no clue if there's a way to type text

While you have the text in transformation mode, right click and you can either skew it or tweak it into perspective. In addition to rotate, scale, and one other option which escapes me right now. I believe for the effect you want, you'll prefer skew.

[immoral]

I have no clue what you mean by transformation mode, but I right clicked anyway and I still don't have those options. I have warp text, which has always been there, but it's not what I want.

[nomoreprinces]

Hrm, I'm assuming PS = Photoshop. So when you have do a ctrl+T you can resize it and when you right click there you have the options. If it's not photoshop then I gots no clue.

Type the text you want, and then rasterize the layer. After that, go into "Edit" and then "Transform", and you'll have several option open to you. The ones you're looking for are "Skew", "Rotate", and most especially, "Distort". The "Distort" function allows you to enlargen one side while leaving the other side the same size, or vice versa, giving you the ability to create perspective.

I think he already seems a bit creepy. But I'm prudish and sheltered and noises in the night make me wet my diapers still.

Also, here's an example:

Thank you. Out of all the ways suggested, I think this sounds the easiest. So I shall be stealing your methods like I would your wallet after sex.

So long as it is sex with an anthropomorphic beaver I could care less.

In PSP you can type text at an angle also by drawing a line with the pencil tool, to whatever angle you want the text to lay out on, and then clicking the text button on top of the line, which gives you an option to type it as a vector layer on top of the line, and it follows the line. Does that make sense? I don't know how that would translate in PS.

The animation =/ I never like animation in layouts, though. Still love the layout, though, and the colors.

[immoral]

I'll probably freeze the speech bubble because it's getting on my nerves, but either the blinking squares or the pistons will end up animated. So you'll just have to deal, you slut.

I want to see what the pistons look like, if you experiment with their being animated.

Squeegy~

What version of PS are you running?

Reason I ask is because they finally put usable paths in 8. Which can do wonderful things like making text be all... on a path. Such as http://pics.livejournal.com/upinbed/pic/00001at8 . (Pic showing no naughty bits, but if you work in an uptight workplace, might have problems.)

[immoral]

I use 7 because the changes in 8 made me wanna thrust a fork into my palm.

[lheena]

I have 8, because it was what I could find - but if you want and you can't find another way - if you draw the path and stuff I could whip it up for you.

You can draw paths in 7, just not put text on them. They did weird "Let's squish 8 in with Illustrator!" things.

uh.. wow.

layout. wow.

Thanks. It's different, I know, but different is what I was going for.
