Hi,

I’m a medium level PS user (v5.5) and a web
designer.

How do I use PS to draw long curves ? I have
tried using the circle tool to create as big a
circle as possible but the long curves I need
require too big a circle.

Thanks to Jim for his advice re the pen tool. My
problem whenever I try this tool is that when I
try to get the curve to curve around I always run
out of screen space. I get to the edge of the
screen (1024*768) and I can’t get it curve any
sharper.

well…it you want to send me sample of what you are tying to do…i took the day off from work…so perhaps i could help you out.

I use the pen tool quite frequently (you can set it to create vectors)….and if you are using 7 (and i think 6) you can use that to draw curves and vectors within photoshop. The feature isnt quite a flexible as illustrator….but it it quite good.

hope this helps….feel free to contact me

INCREDIBLY generous jj, but I couldn’t impose
like that.

I am experimenting with the pen tool but it seems
very very quirky and limited.
I will check out some of the basic drawing apps
that come cheap as some of them have better
drawing tools for stuff like this than PS.

Tks again !
