How can I make curved text with Adobe Photoshop?

Photoshop has a “Text Warp” tool that can take care of curving your text. The Text Warp tool can also do arcs, bulges, shell shapes, flags, waves, fish, squeezing, twisting, and more. Basically, the Text Warp tool can twist and turn your letters in almost any way imaginable.

With your text selected, click on the “Text Warp” button in the menu bar along the top of the screen. It looks like this:
