210 ULEAD PHOTOIMPACT USER GUIDE

Creating your own wrap effects

In PhotoImpact, you can create your own path object on which to wrap text and
other path objects. In the Object: Wrap submenu, there are two commands that
let you do this:
• Add Text to Active Path Creates text on a path. Use any of the Path Tools
to draw a path, then click this command to enter text and place it on the
path.
• Fit Together Wraps a text or path object over another path. Select the text
object and the path on which to wrap the text, then click this command to
combine them.
Notes:
• When you wrap a path object over another path, PhotoImpact automatically
makes many duplicates of the object and lines them up over the path.
• Outline path objects as well as line and arrow path objects cannot be wrapped
over a path.
• Objects can be wrapped on any type of path, including solid-filled path, outline
path, or line and arrow path.

Modifying wrap effects

PhotoImpact allows you to change the way an object wraps. You can wrap a single
object only, or create many duplicates of it and wrap them on a path. You can also
deform the objects and make them follow the shape of their path more smoothly.
Use the Wrap dialog box to change an object's wrap properties. To access this
dialog box, you can:
• Select the wrapped object, then select Object: Wrap - Properties;
• Right-click a wrapped object and select Wrap: Properties from the pop-up
menu;
