    Stuff that doesn't blurr your text, but lets you tweak it like putty.

    Hi mjindustry,

    There are lots of ways to distort text. Xara has some built in features such as the mold tool and the liquid colour live effect as well as a few others under the live effect menu >distortion filters. And you can distort text or any shapes for that matter with the free displacement filter from Image Skill

    If you are looking for something that you don't mind paying for Filter Forge can do many things and it can distort in many ways. It is expensive though although they have offered a discount coupon for the TG community

    Here are some samples of distorted text using some of these methods

    The Mould Tool in Xara may be what you are looking for.

    Text on a curved path is what I would use--unless I am misunderstanding you.

    Take care, Mike
