How can I curve a (text) Type layer?

Hey guys can anyone tell me how to bend type into some semi-circle. I would like to create type that curves around this circular object. I already have the type (text) on it's own layer but when I try to curve it using the transform tool, it stays in a straight line. Please advise. Here below is an attachment of the type I am trying to curve/bend

You need to use the text warp tool, which you can see when you are editting a type layer.

It's a lot easier w/ Illustrator b/c you can make text follow a path.

Actually you do not need to use any extra tools, photoshop provides this facility
click the text tool, write your text, then on top of your screen there is the tools bar for the text tool, there is a button that looks like a T on top of a curve click it and it will give you many many curve styles,
hope that helps
