Adding text along a circular path. Photoshop 2024.

I'm trying to add text around a circular path in Photoshop 2024. I drew a circle using the ellipse tool and selected the text Tool. But the cursor doesn't change to indicate text-on-path mode, to receive the text when it's positioned on the path as it used to in previous versions. Any help!

It looks like you have the Elliptical Selection tool selected (dotted ellipse icon). You want the Elliptical Shape tool (solid ellipse icon).

Do you have the Ellipse Tool mode set to Shape or Path and not Pixels?

 

Can you post a screenshot?

Hi @Jeff Arola , How can i adjust the setting in Adobe 2024 (Version 25.3.1.). I don't have these shape/path/pixel option.

@Milael make sure your option at the top is set to path not shape.
