I actually had two computers on while doing this procedure. On one I had Inkscape open and was performing the work. The other had your video playing, and I was pausing at each instruction so I perform the instruction on Inkscape exactly as you instructed. I don't know how I could have done it wrong. In fact I did it multiple times. But I will try it again. The funny thing is that I got the same response and message even after I deleted Inkscape and reinstalled it. By the way, the bezier envelope tool does show in extensions, modify path. Thanks for your response. I'll let you know if it works when I try it again.

you have to be patient to figure this out, folks... she explains EVERYTHING out. But is you decide NOT to watch this video from front to back without skipping around to different parts, you will not miss key points that she addresses. It wasn't working for me either, because that's exactly what i was doing. I then watched to whole video and referenced he blog as well. downloaded both the extension and the template. its all laid out. just be patient guys... you're learning.

Gotten enough of this! ! ! Went on subsequently and downloaded Photoscape X (free version) for Windows 10 without having to go thru the steep learning curve. On Photoscape X, you can arch, arc, bulge and more.

Photoscape deals with pixels and raster images as far as I am aware .Inkscape deals with vectors so the image would degraded if increased in size with pixels and raster images whereas you could zoom in and resize by ridiculous amounts with vector images .

I have tried this multiple times, and it still will not work. At first I thought I had placed the download of the bezier extensions in the wrong place. I completely removed Inkscape, reloaded it, reloaded the download from your page, and put them in the extension area. Still no help. It will not work. It says: "Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed. The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected". The text remains where I placed it and does not move at all. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Melissa, I spent some time trying to replicate this error when Mike posted, and again today, and I can't replicate the error, so I don't know what else to tell you. Be sure you have verified the path as described on my blog post about this (linked in description above). Also be sure your error message is exactly the same as Mike's.

Tomasz, I know this is a year later but I had the same problem. What you have to do is once you make the rectangle and convert it to a path go to "Path" and then to "Simplify". It should now read 4 nodes, and now you can double click it and add the curve to it. Hope you figured it out or this helped.

The skewing is the nature of the process. To minimize it, break your text up into smaller sections and warp it separately or keep your curves as slight as possible.

Make sure you click the make corners sharp button, and it should make 4 nodes, but you can also go into node mode and delete down to 4.

Hi Mark. Since you got far enough for the error message we know the extension is installed correctly. The error message is telling you what the problem is. Either your text or your envelope shape is not a path. This extension is not forgiving at all, you have to follow all the steps to the letter and in the right order, so give it another try and watch the status bar as it will tell you what's a path and what's not.
