Hi guys,

I typed the word "Ethos" and wanted to extend the bottom of the 't' to run along the underside of the word. To do this I created a new work path. I then manipulated the 't' to get it to the shape I wanted... what I'm struggling with now is how to apply this change in shape to the text.

At the moment I have my text that says Ethos, and I have my path that says Ethos but with the extended 't'. How do I apply the change in shape to the 't' to the actual text?

Hope this makes sense :)

Thanks!

Luke

Instead of converting to a path, convert it to a shape, then extend the t.

To do it their way: Convert the text to a path, create a new layer and just delete the text layer. Manipulate the path any way you want then fill it.
