Photoshop: curving text around a mug?

[Mad Dave]

Hi Guys, Im trying to curve some text around a tea cup - any ideas guys?

You need to create a path around the cup, select the horizontal type tool and place the cursor near the path you made. It will change shape (the cursor will) and then you can click to add the text.

Don't think there's a way to do that in 6

Try downloading the Gimp - a free photoshop-like application from www.gimp.org - you can do text on a path with that and the price is good

HTH
