Hi everyone, I’m working on a layout in InDesign and trying to wrap text around a circular image, but the text isn’t flowing neatly around the shape. it looks uneven and awkward. I’ve tried using the Text Wrap panel, but I might be missing something. What’s the correct way to make text wrap smoothly around a circle or custom shape? Any tips or settings I should check?

Hi @allen_6410 , Have you tried saving an Alpha Channel from the Photoshop circle and using that as the wrap?

 

The circle’s transparent area saved as an Alpha channel:
