I've seen people warp their text without using the text warp option, and I heard it can only be done in CS. Like I saw some text that was following the curves of someone's body...does anyone know how to do that?

Make any sort of path with the pen tool. Then take the horizontal type tool and hover the cursor at the beginning of the path. The cursor should change a little. Click on it and start typing.

Okay well I got it to have a cursor on the path, but nothing shows up when I type.

get the text tool and click where you want your text to start on the path..and make sure your font isnt white and just start typing :P

i do this in illustrator 10.0...if you're using photoshop i dont know if its different or not

I tried in Illustrator and it's the same way as this tutorial I saw online once for Adobe CS. You have to place the cursor on the path. Then it changes, then click and start typing. Is the path selected? I don't know if it'll make a difference.

^You can't do it in PS7. You can do it in Adobe CS and up and Illustrator.
