I don’t have photoshop open to try it (so I may be sticking my foot in my mouth) but I think you can simply invert your text. Either under the "image" menu or perhaps with ctrl/I.

Inverting the text only changes it’s color. You can do a transform/fli but then its backwards too. Beats me :

maybe this will help to explain the issue
the text i am talking about goes around the button
the top text was text on a circle path. the text on the bottom was warped in a -100 bend it doesnt fit the contur exactly like a tpye text on path would do. hope this explains the issue a bit more.

I think a bend between -80 and -90 should be enough to fit the circle perfectly. -100 is just too much. It also depends on the length of the text and so on… I’m no expert since I use Illustrator for that kind of work.

However, you should really consider getting yourself a vector drawing app. Corel Xara used to be pretty low budget. I don’t really know.

Oh… yeah. Don’t do it that way. When you want to do that, you need to use the circle path for only one of the lines of text. So if you use it for the top, you then will need to make a second path that is smaller and fits within the circle (a half circle) to do the bottom text.
