Photoshop text wrap."},"content":{"rendered":"

Photoshop doesn’t have a dedicated text wrap tool, but you can still make paragraphs of text wrap around images. The trick lies in using a long running feature in Photoshop call type in a path, along with vector paths. It’s really easy, lets go!<\/p>\n

We want to add text to the left of this image but have it wrap around the woman. How do we do this? Easy…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Start with the rectangle shape tool<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At the top make sure its set to Path<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Drag out the shape you want to put the text in. (Similar to how you would do it with the type tool)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We have a text box, but now we need to change the shape.<\/p>\n

Grab the pen tool. How to use the pen tool in Photoshop<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Click to add a point at the top. add a second point under it<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hold down Carl\/Cmd and drag on the point.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can add points and drag them to curve the side of the box.<\/p>\n

Also drag the handles to change the shape of the path. If you don’t know how to use the pen tool, here is a tutorial.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here is the finished path.<\/p>\n

Note this isn’t the only way to create a path in Photoshop, but for me, it’s the easiest way to make a nice neat box with a curved side. The important thing is to have a vector path at this point of the tutorial.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How let’s put the text in it.<\/p>\n

Grab the type tool<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As you move the cursor inside the path, you will see it has a circle around it. This means we will add type IN a path.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Click to apply, You’ll see place holder text. Type in your own words, or paste them from another document.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Choose Type>Paste Loren Ipsum to add ,ore placeholder text for styling if you aren’t ready to put your own text in yet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To select all the text, click the text with the text tool and Press Ctrl\/Cmd+A to select all.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Change the properties such as font, size and color to complete your look.<\/p>\n
