[SOLVED] Request - Text on a path (I only have PSE 4)

Edit: I have actually solved my problem by using GIMP. Too bad I am too cheap to buy the real Photoshop :)

Hello,
I am using Photoshop Elements (version 4, don't make fun of me :redface:) and I am working with text around a circle. I downloaded a premade text-on-a-path file made by someone with the full Photoshop and it works almost perfectly for what I need. The problem I have is that the text goes upside-down at the bottom of the circle, so I am wondering if anyone here could make me a file with the text right-side up at the bottom of the circle. This would make the text upside-down at the top of the circle, but that's fine as I will just use two separate text layers (one for the top and one for the bottom). I've included a quick mock-up of what I'm hoping to have, made with PSE's "Warp text" option which looks messy. I've also attached the psd file I'm using for the top of the circle. (I can't post links yet so they are attached).
Thanks in advance!

Hi Ayelix and welcome to PSG.
Nobody here is going to make fun of you, we're glad to help you out if we can.
You can post your JPG here just click on the

icon.
You should also be able to upload the PSD file.

Make sure you click on Go Advanced, scroll down a bit and click on Manage Attachments to upload the PSD.
 
Whoops, I didn't even test if the psd uploaded correctly. I'll edit the post to try it again, thanks.
 
Did you ever get this working? I have Elements 8 and would like to accomplich the same thing. The file you uploaded works greate for the top part of the circular text, but as you mentioned it does nothing for the bottom half. If someone has solved this, please upload the psd as I am not ready to upgrade to a newer Elements version and am not even sure a newer Elements version would give me this ability. Please help. Thanks.
