Curved text on CD?

Post by Draxonfly »

How do you curve the text on the CD covers. like the 'legal' text that follows the edge of the cd?
I like the look, makes it look more 'real' as such..
I have fiddled around I just cant get it even all the way around...

I use PhotoShop (CS4)

I was surprised when I found out about that too, especially how easy it was. Been using Photoshop for a while and never knew about that.
