just got a copy of CS3 and it worked first time....thanx guys for all the help...Is anyone interested in a copy free zip...

by waynis » Thu Jul 12, 2007 1:46 pm

wow what a response you learn something new everyday...I will try all the comments and see what happens...one thing l have a cracked version,well not so much a crack but downloaded it.... (How much is a new version anybody????ps7 or cs2) thanx guys good responding.. :cheers:


Hey so far the tutorial link that MrHenryDog has supplied is the easiest to follow, but i am still having trouble. When i go to type in the shape my cursor still wont change which wont allow me to create my text in the paths workspace, is there another way that this can be achieved?
I hope i am making myself clear.

Thank you for the help ^-^

Wow - that is weird .... but well sussed out Skally :thumb:

by voetzoeker » Tue Jul 10, 2007 7:26 pm

No need for that Mr HD,
like Skally said it will work from Photoshop 5 or 6 and above only there are some Photoshop version like my cs
, that have a bug and won't shape tekst inside a custom shape.

so the tutorial is great and will work for most users
, although some might encounter the same problem as me.

my apologies, i only have cs2 so i didnt know it wouldnt work with early versions, i will edit the tutorial to reflect this

by voetzoeker » Tue Jul 10, 2007 4:32 pm

Yea, it must be a bug of somekind.
i've used BB Flashback to record the demo, got it from this topic

Thnx to B3ARStyLE ;)

and here's 1 were i got it to work

weee tekst

by voetzoeker » Mon Jul 09, 2007 5:50 pm

Made you a movie that will show it doesn't work.


no dice

its weird in cs2 it works fine and in photoshop 8 at work it also works fine, but with cs it just won't work with custom shapes only with predefined shapes :chin:

by voetzoeker » Mon Jul 09, 2007 4:57 pm

Ok i got it to work in cs

1st thing, when i create a custom shape path with the pen tool and want to apply the tekst tool to it, it doesn't work :chin:

The only way to get a custom shape, is to create a rectangular shaped path with the regtangle tool
and shape that with the direct selection tool into the shape i want and then apply the tekst tool to it :yawn:
Man thats just weird,

by voetzoeker » Mon Jul 09, 2007 10:41 am

I know same thing happend to me, the only way i got it to work was with CS2 gonna try this in CS tonight.

Good luck
