ive looked at all the shapes of text you can have [arc,fisheye etc etc] but theres no circular text. can [Spiral text] be done in CS 9.
Yes. This has been available since CS, aka Photoshop 8.0. Draw a spiral path with the pen tool as a series of arcs on a grid. Then select the text tool and place the I-beam cursor over the path – it will change shape to indicate the text will be created on the path. Click, and start typing.
It may be easier to base the spiral on one of the built-in shapes, as shown in this tutorial:
