How to Wrap Text in Photoshop CS3
Adobe Photoshop CS3 is the 2007 version of the popular graphics software. Capable of completing literally thousands of tasks, Photoshop CS3 is a tool used by many photo editors, illustrators and graphic designers. A text wrap is an effect that allows text to curve around an object in a photograph or drawing. This effect is used to conform digital text around the curve of a blank soda can, coffee mug or other rounded object. Although Photoshop CS3 does not have a text wrap feature, the effect is possible with the use of the Warp Text function.
