Photoshop text on object

[Mark M]

Is there anyway I can get text to follow the shape of an object? Basically I want to change the name on a plane for a mock up ticket Im doing for a surprise but cant seem to find anyway of doing it.

Any ideas?

There's a couple of tutorials here

Wise guy eh?

Perhaps if you could give me a clue of what I should be searching for as everything I tried came up with text wrap, text path, text curve and none are suitable for my needs.

Ermm, the link Spunkey posted tells you exactly what to search for and in fact, searches for you.

2nd result.

Ah, appologies, I thought it was just a link to the lmgtfy site. However, its not what Im after.

Im trying to replace the Virgin name actually on the plane and replace it with "Mark Airlines", not have text follow the curve of the plane. I dont actually know the terminology or Im sure I could find something on google which explains it.

Ive edited out the existing text/logo out just need to know how to "bend" the text to the skin of the plane if that makes sense

Ahh, I see. In all fairness though, you originally asked how to get text to follow the shape of an object which is exactly what Spunkey provided.

Without seeing the image, I can't tell you exactly what to do but if you type out text and then go to edit > transform, you should be able to figure it out by fiddling around with the options available there. FYI: You do have to rasterise the type in order to have all the options available to you. To do this, right click on text layer and choose 'rasterise type'. This will make the text non editable so I usually do this on a copy layer.
