Not able to convert text to shape or wrap the text around object

I was trying to get an effect in photoshop for "photo manipulation typography" for which i needed to convert text to shape so that I can wrap it around the object/Image. Every time I tried doing this i got an error showing "Couldnot complete you request because the type layer uses a faux bold style." 

I tried changing the font as well but nothing helped. Please let me know how can this be solved

Hi Shenaz255326171uha,

 

inside the Character panel (Window > Character), deactivate the "Faux Bold" option while having your

text layer selected.

 

 

Then try converting your text to shape again.

 

Best,

Maurice
