Text Warping


Warp Text Dialog

Text Warp StylesThe Warp Text Dialog box allows you to bend and distort type in a variety of ways. The style menu allows you to choose from 15 different warp styles. Warp effects can be applied to the entire type layer whether it is line text or paragraph text. On paragraph text the warp is applied to the bounding box. Once you choose a warp style, you can adjust the effects using the other options in the dialog box.

  • The horizontal and vertical radio buttons control the orientation of the warp.
  • Bend controls the amount and direction of the warp. For instance, an arc effect will become more pronounced the closer you move the slider to the end of the scale. The left half of the scale creates a downward arc. The right side of the scale creates an upward arc.
  • The Horizontal and Vertical distortion sliders allow you to apply perspective to the warp effect.
