Transformations: Warping text
Warping shapes is not the only thing that you can do with this feature—I use it a lot for warping images, as you saw in the last couple of pages—but don't forget Warp also works on text too. In fact, text warping has been in Elements for a long time, hidden away in the Horizontal Type options panel.

Just for fun: May your family snaps never look normal again! Here are three preset warp variations: Inflate, Squeeze, and Twist. All the presets you see on the pop-up menu below can be used as is or modified by grabbing the handle attached to the mesh frame and dragging. Hours of fun can be had messing with your pictures or, as you see below, warping text layers
