Hello,
I'm using Gimp 2.10. I assume my question should go here.
I'm trying to give an arch to my text selection and I'm not getting the look that I want.
Here's a screen shot of the text along with a curvy arrow:

I would like to distort the text so that it curves with the arrow, something like this (but more professional looking, obviously
):

My Google searches have lead me to using Filters > Distortion > Curve Bend... but the look I get isn't quite what I want:
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/nhu42ytfq...68148&dl=0
This tool seems to squish the selection around the area it distorts/curves. I end up not being able to read the text.
So I'm wondering if there's a way to accomplish what I want without compromising the legibility of the test. Something like creating a snake-like distortion, like the text follows the body of the snake in that it has the same girth at every point such that nothing is ever "squished".
Just FYI, the text is rasterized. It's not a text layer.
Thank you in advanced!
