A basic tutorial about wrapping text around an object. This is from our Photoshop Beginner series and demonstrates the use of text paths. It also covers basic masking, path and transformation notions. The article assumes you will be working on a flat (non-layered) image and that you own at least the CS version of Photoshop.

If you want some 3D text and you don’t have a 3D modeling application or you just don’t know how to use one, this Photoshop tutorial might just be your thing. You’ll learn how to use basic transformation tools and some layer effects. We’re using Adobe Photoshop CS5, but this tutorial works just as well with any earlier versions.
