This time WatchAndLearnPhotoshop has released not one but two free photoshop video tutorials.
The first tutorial teaches you how to create text that follows a path, a feature that if I remember correctly was first introduced with Photoshop CS and is a very useful feature and technique especially for creating logos (Yes I know it’s better to use Illustrator for logos)
