Each letter gets it's own text box. You rotate them once by one. You'll need to measure distance from inner perimeter of the circle and manage the exact angle to center. So a protractor, string, or drawn line can help. (Draw the line before putting the center picture in.

  1. Take a picture of the original text with your phone at an angle.
  2. Email the crooked image to yourself.
  3. Copy the rotated text from the crooked image into the destination image.

That's way harder than what I do, but I'm lucky enough to have access to a flat bed scanner. I just print it out, and then scan it at every angle. That way when I email the scanned photos to myself I have all the angles at once.

This is much too high quality to be called a shitpost.

[–] wabafee 8 points 3 hours ago

It's Ms post

[–] thawed_caveman 34 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Comments saying "you don't" are weak shit. The answer is you rotate each letter one by one.

It will look like shit because they will be ever so slightly misaligned, but such is the fate of the brave

[–] Maggoty 1 points 47 minutes ago* (last edited 47 minutes ago)

There are ways to deal with the kerning and angles. Mostly be drawing lines you later get rid of.

This image is 100 times funnier now compared to 1000 years ago when I first saw it

Does gimp not have a circle?

[–] takeda 14 points 3 hours ago

Whenever I use gimp, and have to draw square, circle, text or a similar shape I swear I need to search the net for the answer.

You can do everything, but it is very counter intuitive to a noob. I don't need to use gimp/Photoshop so I regularly forget it and need to look it up every time. I'm sure that for somebody who uses it regularly it is intuitive.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

The last time I used gimp...it does but in like a really weird way. It's not intuitive.

Iirc you take the circle selection tool and then make a path. Which you then assign a brush width and then a color.

[–] eager_eagle 4 points 2 hours ago

yeah, I remember it like that too

It's as intuitive as moving the paper under the pen to draw something

[–] wreckedcarzz 22 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I dunno, but it does have the worst UI this side of the 60s.

(the new version is supposed to finally fix this but... [x] doubt)

[–] ElectricTrombone 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

New version? I'm pretty I've heard that statement before...

Rather than trying to be different for the sake of being different, they’ve realized that photoshop and similar UIs actually make for pretty great UX so they’ve adopted it.

TLDR

This was gimp 2.0 when it came out

This is GIMP 3.0 RC

[–] Zidane 3 points 1 hour ago

That looks damn near usable now

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago

Single window by default did wonders for usability.

One pixel at a time.

[–] stupidcasey 11 points 6 hours ago

You don’t, Microsoft realized back then that this is the coolest it could ever looked and thusly removed that ability permanently.

[–] robocall 3 points 6 hours ago

You don't! 😊

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

There's a way to rotate things in MS Paint that involves using the "skew" feature lol. So maybe do that to each letter.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Rotate the layer. I hear they upgraded MS paint to have layers now. So it stands to reason you would create the text on its own later and then screw/rotate that layer on its own?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Idk, that skew trick was like Windows 7 days lol. I haven't used the cool layered one!

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice 1 points 3 hours ago

Neither have I, but it's neat to hear they finally added them. It's like they want to keep it antiquated, but figured it's been 20 years since layers came around in digital art, so why not

[–] NewNewAccount 0 points 3 hours ago

The new MS photos app actually has an AI-powered tool that can do precisely this. Was shocked at how well it worked for this exact use case.
