transfer all fonts to curve

[TraderDave]

Hi,

Photoshop CS4

I'm doing the art work for a large vinyl banner 2ft x 6ft and one of the requirements states - Please transfer all fonts to curve, which I beleive is the same as outline? Can anyone offer any guidance?

Thanks kindly.

Right click the rightmost side of each text layer and choose "Convert to shape"

Thanx Nomission,

Worked great on Comic Sans MS and Aerial but on Copperplate Gothic Bold -

could not complete your request because the type layer uses a faux bold style.

Any idea what affect not being able to covert Copperplate Gothic Bold to a shape may have on my printed banner? My font size is 525 pt.

The printer approved the artwork with none of the fonts converted to shapes so im guessing it should be fine......

What does that mean?

I have Photoshop CS4, do I need Adobe Illustrator?
