Need help or a tutorial for a effect in photoshop [GRAPHIC GUYS LOOK HERE]
 

I've used photoshop for some time, but one thing i could never figure out is how to make like swooping lines for borders and other things in photoshop, back in the day in Paint shop pro you could use the breazer tool and it would let you bend the line to what shape you wanted then it would leave it selected and you would add color, any graphic guys here know what im talking about or know of a good tutorial on how to do this shit ? :helpme

not quite sure what you're talking about, examples?

swooping lines? :question

I'm afraid I cant disclose that information.

im sure he means rounded edges n such

yes like the top of the site in your sig, like a straight line but bent, not rounded edges those are easy.

mmm no answers? i should of made the topic WOULD YOU HIT IT?

Rounded Corners>

If you're using PS7.0 or newer, there's a Rounded Rectangle vector shape tool. If below 7.0, do this:

Fill a rectangular selection with black leaving plenty of room on all 4 sides. Invert the selection and fill with white. Gaussion blur the entire layer (after deselecting all) in intervals (ie. 8px, 4px, 2px, 1px; or 9px, 6px, 3px, 1px). Go to Image > Adjust > Levels. Drag the white and black triangles towards eachother until they align with the gray triangle. You should have a rounded rectangle effect.

For the "swooping lines" on OAInternet.com, zoom out (50% of actual size) and use the rounded selection marquee, fill with the desired color, move the selection using the keypad and delete the remaining excess.

You can also use the Pen tool. 3rd from the bottom in the left column on the tools palette. Click at a starting point, then again at an ending point and before releasing the mouse button move the cursor to adjust the arc. Then click two more anchor points at either bottom corner of the document, and finally close the path by clicking the original point. Again delete extra space to achieve the desired size.

Hope this helps.

thanks bro

pen tool is your friend. to make curves and blobby shapes it's what u need - mastering it for stuff beyond that is difficult - i still haven't.

yeah no shit, i dont have the time to master it, hard as fuck to get it just right hehe, thanks to the ones that helped.
