Apply Path To Text In Photoshop

Hello,

I am trying to do something a little unorthodox in Photoshop but I have to believe there is a command for what I am trying to do. I need to retroactively apply a path to a text layer in photoshop to make the text follow the path. I already know about using text tool to type around a path or shape but for reasons unique to my project I need to be able to create two separate layers, a text layer and a shape layer, and to then apply the text to the shape layer as a path or vice versa it really does not matter so long as the result is text which follows the shapes path.

If any one knows a way to do this it would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Just lay your workpath wherever you want it to go. Select and copy the text, and paste on the new path.

Trevor,

Thanks for replying. I do not believe this will work as this is essentially the same thing as using the type tool to type along a path. If I am not mistaken you are suggesting to continue to use the type tool and simply copy and paste the text?

To be more clear about my project...

I have 680 files which all need to have the title text changed and re-saved as new PNGs.

I have created a PS action script which opens the files, auto generates a text layer based on the file name, adjusts the character/font options and location but for the text to be "wrapped" around a path would require creating a new text layer which breaks the automation of the PS action.

Any suggestions to apply the path to an existing text layer?

Cheers,

Copy paste is not retyping. A script can only automate some features that Photoshop has. Scripts can not add new features to Adobe Photoshop. There is non Adobe Photoshop feature to add a path to a text layer. There is a Text on a path feature. The path come first. Then the text is added. The text can be pasted from the clipboard into the text. It may no be possible to script text on a path for how would a scrip know which path you want the text on and where on the paths you want text to start. Even if a script new the answers to those questions how could a script position the text cursor onto that point and click so the text tool would be in text node. A script can not control the system curser or even get its position. If you recors some text steps into an action. The fulley expand all the steps in the action. You may se some idea as to how complex text.
