MAKING CIRCULAR TEXT IN PAINTSHOP PRO
This tutorial is the sole property of Della Burks.  You may contact Della at DellaBurks@aol.com if you wish to post to a website or group.  This tutorial may not be reproduced in any manner without prior      consent.



1.  Open up a new image.  Click on your Preset Shapes tool.

2.  If your version has a circle option, check that.  If not, use the ellipse and size it to a circle.

Don't be concerned about the size or color of your circle...you will be getting rid of it later on.  When you finish making your circle, you will see the deformation box surround your circle.

3.  Go to the middle left "square/box" on the side of this deformation box and position your cursor just above it.  Notice that you will get a little "A" with a bracket underneath it.  This tells you that you are ready to add your text.

4.  Click on that spot and insert your text.

5.  Position the text where you want.  It is just like moving text around in anything else you do.  Click and hold down in the center of the deformation box for the text and drag it to where you want.  When you are happy with the font, color, position, etc. click OK and deselect the deformation box.

6.  Go to your Layers Pallate and click the "+" sign next to your vector layer.  You will see your circle there.  "X" this out by clicking on the picture of the eye.

7.  Go back to your Layers Pallate and click on Raster Layer 1.  Merge Visible and crop to size.  You can now move this around and resize as you wish.  This can also be done around other shapes, as well.  The same rules apply.

Good luck and I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and found it helpful!
