Learn how to rotate and warp text

 

When using Photoshop, it is likely at some point, and you will want to add text to your creations. Using the 'Type' tool, you can create horizontal and vertical text and then warp or rotate the text if desired. 
 

Watch this video to see how to create, rotate, and warp text.

Add the text to the document

Create or open a document and select the Type Tool from the toolbar on the left. Then tell them how to select the font and color. After entering your text, click the checkmark in the Options bar to accept it.

  Rotate the text

Choose Edit> Free Transform (CTRL+T/ Cmd+T) from the main menuWhen the Free Transform tool activates, a blue box will appear around the text. Hover near the boxes on the corners, and your cursor will turn into a double-sided arrow with a 90° bend. Click and drag to rotate the text.

Warp the text

With the Type Tool selected in the tools panel and the Type layer selected in the Layers panel, click on the Warp Text option MohitGoyal_2-1683890221533.png in the Options Bar. This will open Photoshop's Warp Text dialog box, where you can choose (from the 15 preset options) the style of warp warping you want to apply. Photoshop refers to the various warping options as styles, but by default, the Style option at the very top of the dialog box is set to None. We've chosen 'Arc' here. As soon as you select a style, Photoshop applies it to the text in the document, giving an instant preview of how the text will look with the chosen effect.

Customize the Warp

Once we've chosen a style, we can adjust the intensity of the warping effect using the Bend option. The Bend value is set to 50% by default, but we can easily adjust it by dragging the slider left or right. If you look directly above the Bend option in the Warp Text dialog box, you'll find two more options that control the direction of the warp, Horizontal and Vertical. Try them out and get the perfect alignment for your text. After adjusting your text, click the checkmark in the Options bar to accept it.
