Hello, 

i wanna bend text by just grabbing that little square and bend it along. I know other ways ofc, im a daily photoshop user, but this little thing makes me go delusional xD I did it once a while a go, just grab and slide but now i cant manage to do it again and i wasted like 30 minutes already figuring it out.

Id be [removed by moderator] grateful for suggestions, thats propably super ultra simple but i just couldnt find the solution for this exact method anywhere. Thanks a lot.

@Searchuu 

In Illustrator and InDesign, you use the Direct Selection tool (white arrow) "A" and drag the thin line above the square. Or resize the text frame using the lines near the inport and outport.

 

I thought you could do this the same way in Photoshop, too, but it's working differently for me in 2022. Instead I have a little widget that I can drag to move the text.

 

If you are using an older version of PS, try dragging the thin line instead of the square. What version do you have?

I believe in photoshop you would need to go to Edit>Transform>Warp>Arc and then you can grab the white square to bend the text.

Omg! That's it! I was soo focused on that wrong tiny square and that was the square i was looking for. 
I feel ashamed at how simple and stupid it was 😄 Many thanks ❤️
