Text Curved Over An Image 

Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced

for Paint Shop Pro 

(Help File In Paint Shop will help explain terms)

Open the image or tube that you are wanting to use duplicate and close original. 

Resize your canvas to give yourself enough room to work with.

Add a new Raster layer.

Draw a vector circle. 

In the lower left hand corner of paint shop you will see these numbers.

You want the circle to be [1,000] so keep an eye here.

This makes the text circle the image that you are working on, no matter what size the image is.

Here is the image I am working with for this tutorial.

See how the vector circle is around my image.

Click on the text tool and chose the color that you want the text to be.

Place the mouse on the circle line until you see the   appear, left click and type your text.

Center, Floating and Antialias checked. 

It will look like this.

Go to your Layer pallet and delete the vector circle.

With matching ants still around your text you can add a puff effect and drop shadow.

Select none to remove the matching ants and save your work.

Easy huh!
