The following properties of your text can be altered while it’s on a path: Once you’ve placed your text on the path, now you can edit its attributes to your liking.

For this demonstration, I’ll be moving them the ends of the path:Īs depicted in the above screenshot, the text moved all the way to the beginning of the path, because that’s where I placed the green triangle. You can move these points according to your own preferences. The red triangle on the right represents the end point of the text. The green triangle on the left side of the path represents the starting point of the text. A blinking cursor will appear on the contour of the path, indicating that any text you type will be placed on the path. Once you’ve drawn your path, you can grab the Artistic Text Tool and click on the path to place your text on it. Step 2: Use the Artistic Text Tool to place your text on the path Then, grab the Nodes Tool (located in the same submenu as the Pen Tool) and curve the line by clicking and dragging it: In Affinity Photo, the way that you curve text is by placing it on a curved line that you’ve drawn beforehand. Grab the Pen Tool and draw a straight line on your canvas. There’s various ways to create paths, but for this lesson we’ll be using the Pen Tool to manually draw a curved path to place the text on, which will effectively curve the text.
