    How Do I Wrap Text Like the iOS Camera App?

    bluebocat

      Hello. I am in yearbook, and I have been challenged with designing the cover of the yearbook, and I have been having a few problems along the way. One of these problems is to wrap text. Specifically, I'm stuck on how I would wrap text like the iOS camera app on the bottom of the screen. The words seem like they are wrap around a 3D object to give it that effect, but I can't really tell. If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

          Most user here do not use iOS perhaps if you explain what you want to do in non iOS  terms you would get better replies

            I am running photoshop on Windows 7. I am just asking how I am able to mimic the designs of the iOS camera interface.

              This is what I have so far, but I would like to curve the text "VIDEO" and "PHOTO" like it does in the iOS camera app.

                I don't understand the question: I see no curved text on my iOS camera app?

                  Where do you know? I think more users than you think use iOS, in private life, for example. Some even use Photoshop on iOS.

                    Bluebocat, the screenshot is from iOS 7, but according to iOS 7 manual, there is no wrap text filter/editor in the standard iOS camera app. Perhaps this was made with a different app.

                    However, watch this: Re: How to wrap a text/image around a bottle/cylinder/object in specific Photoshop CS6? or How to Wrap and shape your text around any object or shape in Photoshop CS6 Tutorial - YouTube

                      There is a big difference between being a casual user than real work or development. I own a iPod its a great MP3 player and a device I can display my pictures on out of my pocket. I'll even Facetime my kids at time to see my grand kids or help fix something.  My wife has a mini iPad for quick internet access and quire music and uses her iPod to entertain our two year old grandson with games.   She uses a Canon 1D mark 4 and I a Cannon 1D mark II.  The only use the iPad and iPod cameras get is Facetime. No iOS apps are use to work on images  they have no value when you have Photoshop. The iPod is better for displaying image then the iPad mini it has a 3:2 aspect ratio display and travels better the the mini iPad which has a 4:3 aspect ratio display.  I also crop image for display on wall mounted HDTV. The iPad is better for casual internet access then the iPod. All our kids have iPhones and they all use computers either Mac or PC for work and internet access.  When you have a Unix or Windows why would you want to touch an iOS device for work or serious internet access.  Apple mobile devices are convenient for casual use and grand kids don't get that dirty finger painting on them as they do using real paint. Nothing of real value is maintained on an iOS device.

                        OK um... back to the original question. On the bottom screen, look at the words video, photo, square, etc. Notice how they have a curve to them. Now swipe the screen to the left or right. Notice how the words on the bottom have turned like they were on a 3D object? That's the effect I am looking for. Not so much the spinning effect, but the text effect itself.

                          Well...there's Photoshop Touch and Photoshop Mix as well as Lightroom Mobile. It could be argued that they're don't exactly mirror their desktop cousins, yes, but they weren't meant to be. They were meant as extensions to the desktop experience.  (e.g., Lightroom Mobile lets one work with the RAW images they have in their Lightroom desktop collections.)

                           

                          The more powerful Windows tablets can run Photoshop desktop (like Photoshop CC) too.

                           

                          @bluebocat: Are you looking for text with a perspective? Like it has a vanishing point? As if it was turned in a certain direction in 3D space?

                            Yes there is I even install them bur not lightroom for I look at Lifgtroom in my PC and rejected it  and got rid of Adobe iOS apps.  iOS great iPod 4 MP3 Juke Box and family picture albums in my pocket and connects to bluetooth sound system in car and at home,  FaceTime show problem for time where a picture is better then words. Mobile casual internet use where some sites small screen support is  not bad on a  three inch screen, iPod fit in pocket and has no monthly fee and is bigger the a watch.   Yes I have an iOS device and use it occasionally.

                             

                            Powerful tablets that runs Photoshop are not iOS devices.

                              Yes, you can call it that. I'm looking for the vanishing point text effect. Do you know how to do it?

                                Yes. With your text layer selected, right-click and choose, "Convert to Shape." (You can also use Type > Convert to Shape on the menu bar.)

                                 

                                Next, click Edit > Transform > Perspective.

                                 

                                Drag one of the corner handles vertically. Confirm by hitting enter or the checkmark icon on the options bar. Example:

                                 

                                Untitled-1.jpg

                                If you want the text to "fade out", just apply a gradient to the layer or use a layer mask.
