Text Brush vs PhotoRoom
A narrow comparison of PhotoRoom's documented text-curvature slider with drawing words directly on a photo.
Text Brush
Draw the precise route first; the phrase follows it.

PhotoRoom's help article directs you to select a text layer, open Text then Look, and use the Curvature slider. Its web editor prompt asks visitors to log in.
