Text within an image?

[Hatti88]

Ok so I know how to do this on Indesign...but I do not have that programme at present. I am using photoshop CS3 and am wanting to design a tattoo. It is an outline of New Zealand with some song lyrics inside as inspration due to the Earthquake we have had in Christchurch.

Is it possible for me to do this in Photoshop (roughly), or not? Can someone please help, or post a link to a tutorial? I have tried to look but I don't even know what it is called for the task I am trying to do!

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

A lot of them are how to make a tattoo and to create a tattoo effect. I am simply wanting to know if it is possible for me to warp text inside an object in photoshop..

yes it is, use the transform tool on your text . you may have to rasterize text before warping though

Awesome thanks heaps

First create a shape outlining your object. Then grab Text tool and move pointer inside this shape. The pointer should change to text cursor with the circle. Click and start typing.
The shape you started with can be deleted, it is now present in the text layer and may be changed if need be.
