Hi group.
I’m new in Photoshop and maybe this is a stupid question, but I can’t draw a curve in Photoshop.
I use Adobe Illustrator to draw the curve and then i export to Photoshop to do the rest of the job.
Can I avoid this?

Thanks in advance,

Nuno Paquete.

You can draw the same way you do in Illustrator using the pen tool, an useful link just below,

Draw it with the Pen tool exactly as you would in Illustrator then apply a Stroke through the Paths palette or by choosing a brush and hitting Enter.

You don’t believe in reading the manual, do you.

You don’t believe in reading the manual, do you.

Back in 1983 when I got my first computer most manuals were quite good and it was very easy to learn virtually all programs straight form the manual.

Later in the 80’s a couple of manuals came out that were bad and someone went out and wrote after market manuals for them and made lots of money. Ever since the quality of OEM manuals has been swirling around the toilet.

After all why spend a fortune on writing a good or great manual when you can write one later and charge everyone an extra $50.00 for it.

Most manuals to day are written with the assumption that either you are a already partially proficient at the product or that you are dumb as a box of rocks. Both styles are hard to read.

There are some manuals out there that are alright but they tend to be few and far between.

In other words, you did not read the manual.

Back in the 80’s ‘yes’ used to mean ‘yes’

It looks as if the 21st century has replaced the one word ‘yes’ by several paragraphs of drivel

Should have read that part and THEN burned it.
