I know you can type on a path in PS7, but I can’t seem to make it work. I have seen the tutorials that apply to CS, but apparently it is done differently in 7. Anybody know?

No, you can’t.

That feature didn’t arrive in Photoshop until the first version of Photoshop CS.

However, you can get a plugin from Human Software called OttoPaths < http://www.humansoftware.com/pages1200/Ottopath/HSotto11.htm l> that will allow you to do this in Photoshop 7 and earlier.

99 bucks? I’d rather do it in Paint Shop Pro and port it over to Photoshop. Nifty link tho Phos.

Not to mention the fact that Human Software’s plugin UIs look like they were designed by rejects from the Super-Happy-Fun Greeting Card Design software team.

I paid 99 bucks for that stupid plugin, and never have been able to figure out how to make the damn thing work. The ‘help’ file is no help at all, and forget about getting any support from them with using the damn thing.
