@EAwai-pk8wf6 жыл бұрын
Every time you use the rotation tool on rasterized text, you're doing destructive editing, and the quality of the rasterized text is degrading. Usually the degradation is too minor to be noticeable, but it can become a problem if you're working with very fine print (for example, if you're designing a cd/dvd label with lots of really tiny text around the perimeter). With fine print, you can avoid destructive editing by adding just a couple steps to this tutorial: First, follow the tutorial as normal, but when you rotate your text, pay attention to the number of degrees the text needs to be rotated. This text isn't going to be your final text -- it's just a test to see how many degrees of rotation are needed. Once you have the number of degrees, delete the text you just rotated, and then go back to the circle path and rotate the circle path the correct number of degrees (change settings on the rotation tool to rotate path instead of layer). Then go back to your *vector* text layer and re-do text-along-path onto the now pre-rotated circle path.

Thanks for the tutorial! I can't get it to work like in the video though. The bottom text won't rotate correctly, but will instead rotate around some seemingly arbitrary axis.

Hi, I have tried this for 3 days now and it doesnt work. Its so frustrating. I had Corel Draw and could do this in 30 seconds, but waited and the trial version expired and I dont have $424.00 to buy it. I do the steps over and over and over and over hoping for a different result (maybe Im crazy, hope not) but what it will do, Im trying to use the ellipse and not make a round circle but only curve, so the text is a bit curved. It has 2 results. It usually takes the sentence and tries to put it on one spot? so it looks like a red can of paint thrown at the spot. or now Im getting where it creates the path and I add text, not sure which layer Im adding to, but it will follow the path... only it starts arbitrarily on the left edge, upside down and reverse. I cannot shift the text. and today I got it to fall on the lower arc curving UP, of course I need it on top and curving DOWN. new version of GIMP, its so hard to use, also I think its buggy because the text will be white and no color setting has any effect, try brushes, white, set the brush to any color and its white. clear/dump and start over, take a brush, add color and its that color. Ive used alot of older CAD programs alot of years but this is really hard to use. like i said Corel draw I had it tracing the path in a minute literally. will look for another program but any tips are appreciated, thanks
