Photoshop: Circular Work Path Problem

[Pendragon]

I use a circular Work Path for disclaimers and for additional information on my DVD labels, however I can't seem to create a perfectly circular work path - setting the Tolerance to the lowest possible value of 0.5 in Photoshop CS2. Run a search for Arahan in the Gallery and have a look at the 'pin' of Happiness and 'omp' of Company to see what I mean. What am I doing wrong?

I know this may sound obvious but are you holding down shift & alt as you make the path Pendragon ?

I wouldn't worry to much.... it's not that noticeable. But now you have pointed it out...

Yes, I'm holding down Shift and Alt to create a circle in PS.

I know, but I'm a stickler for perfection. Looking at other artist's text on a circular work path, I can't see the same problem. So I'm wondering how they do it...

I like to use the shape tool for that, chose the circle shape. It draws out a double line, I use the outer line to center txt on the bottom of the disc. The inner line for txt centered at the top.. For the inner line top txt, you have to make the circle slightly larger than the disc to line up the type.

For me, this has been the easiest way.
