Tutorial: How to wrap text around an image in Photoshop (Video)
Wrapping text around objects
I just recorded a quick screencast video tutorial for a colleague on how to use paths or shapes to wrap text to avoid objects or circumscribe shapes (circles, etc.) using Photoshop. This is something more often done in Illustrator, but PS does the job pretty well too.
When mocking up websites in Photoshop, this is a great way to illustrate how text will flow around an inline image.

This was awesome. You made it simple to understand. I have been searching for how to do this. Everyone else made it complicated.

Once I select the text tool, when I hover on a path the cursor should change from a square shape to a round one allowing me, when click on the shape, to type text inside it. My cursor simply doesn’t change and when I click on the shape, a new text layer totally independent from the shape is created.
Any idea why and what to do?

Hi Sergio,
Is it possible you’re creating shapes and not shape paths or simply paths? As long as the shape you’ve made is a path, then the text tool should behave differently. Also it makes a difference whether you click inside the shape or on the border of the shape.
