About once a year I forget some of the finer points on getting text in circular patterns. This video nicely (and QUICKLY!!) summarizes everything I needed. BOOKMARKED!!

For when you update this Tutorial... Filling a Circle " Hard Times make Strong Men make Good Times make Weak Men make " I figure circular reasoning like this would go great as a circle. But every time I guessed at the font size or Set Tracking I would have a large gap or text overlap. Your video helped me work out a solution by pointing out the start and end points on the path. My solution was to set the start and end points to the same spot and in the Paragraph tab set it to Justify All. when the gap closed completely I just added a space to the front of my text. Now my text forms a complete circle.

1:02 This is why Jesus Ramirez is one of, if not the best photoshop tutorial guys ever. These little gems he drops in, like right clicking to make the ruler a percentage instead of pixels, are so freakin' useful. Any tutorial with Jesus should be bookmarked and downloaded. Every video I've watched with him over the years has been excellent (chef's kiss). Can't recommend this guy enough.

I am a professional photographer and have been working with photoshop for YEARS, but I have only recently had to start working with text in my photos. GREAT TUTORIAL! Clean. Concise. Covered both Mac and PC very quickly! Thanks a ton!

I've been using photoshop since version 7 but I don't know how to type text to path. Either I compose the logo I create in CorelDraw where I'm ever since used to in using the type text to path tool there or with set the text to path in CorelDraw but will compose the rest of the logo in photoshop. That method totally worked out for me and have been using it for a couple of decades as a graphic artist. I know that it's knida hassle switching between apps when creating a logo, but I got used it like it was the easiest way. But now, thanks to you man, I can continouosly make logos in photoshop without switching to corelDraw any more just to make text to path. You've been a big help and it's a life changing... hahaha! 😅

Thank you Jesus, I'm a beginner in designing and trying hard to learn from youtube tutorials, as I never done designing before, and now really need it for my printing business and your tutorials really help a lot .God bless you more.

update on the review. Spent a lot more time working on it throughout the week. I am still not certain why it's suggested to start from the left (left align text), and then use the path selection tool to position it correctly. I watched multiple tutorials on this that suggested starting from the center. My problem is, if I get used to learning from a certain youtube teacher (PTC for example), I stick with their suggestions no matter what. This goes for multiple PS channels I follow. After numerous attempts at starting from the left (left alignment text), then using the path selection tool to move it, I finally got it. I was able to do exactly what Jesus recommended, but I thought there had to be an easier way. Sure enough, I started from the center using center alignment text, and worked my way outward. It was simple as that. If I wanted to adjust it, I just go into the characters panel. I appreciate the tutorial for sure. It taught me there are many ways to perform certain tasks on PS. That said, Photoshop Training Channel is amazing! I have learned a ton from Jesus, and I look forward to learning more from him.

I feel so stoked about circles and paths now. I appreciate that you also show different approaches to the same problem. Thanks for the tutorial!

Absolutely the BEST tutorial on how to type in a circle! Should be on top of YouTube all the time. Thank you!

[photoshopeandotv]

A great take on a classic subject! And I did learn something new - I never thought of using the start-end points in combination with the "center" text attribute as a way of centering the text (once placed along the path). It's a great method. Thanks!

[SilverZero]

How easy that was and I've been struggling for long with the warped text tool!!! GRACIAS JESUS!

[caladriusnetwork]

This is how tutorials should be done. Perfect, thank you.

[caroltaylor]

I will watch all your tutorials just to see your sparkly eyes! (Not being sexist. I'm old enough to be your mom. You just look like you are having a fun time and it makes me smile!) I will also watch them for the info. This was great! Thanks man!

[georgehutchison]

Just came here for the bit about adding text to the bottom/inside of a circle but this is a great run through of the whole process, I had no idea about using the Path Select tool

[iulianvamanu]

Brother, thank you for helping me. Just finished creating a logo with your help

[thomasrulrich]

[tanshan]

Your videos are the best. Most people too fast and don't show what menu keys are used. Terrific for beginners!
