AbsentMotionText Along Path
Sets the text along an arc, a circle or the outline of the layer just beneath it, letter by letter, with the shaping, fonts and emoji of the text kept.
Choose the Path: an arc or a circle around the text layer (drag its points on the canvas or type them in), or Layer Below to follow what lies just beneath the text in the layer list: a pen path, a shape, the strokes of a drawing or the letters of another text. On a circle or any closed outline, 50 % Position centres the text at the top, reading left to right, and 0 % is the bottom; with Reverse Path on, 0 % sets the text along the bottom, still reading left to right. A path with several parts is followed one part after the other. Text on a path does not wrap to its text box: start a new line yourself for a second row.
