Step 4
Then select the Circle Shape tool and use these settings. Make sure you select the option in the right circle. This one makes the new shape to cut out of the existing one.


Step 5
Create a circle in your image. The shape should cover the part of the image where you don't want the text to go. This can be every shape you want, but foor this ball, the circle shape if the best:
