I am new to Photoshop and I am having a heck of a time trying to make a curved line. I have Photoshop version 8.0

Can this only be done using the Pen?

Can I use the 'line' tool and curve that line somehow?

The graphic I am trying to make is the bottom of a boat anchor.

Any suggestions?

The pen tool will give you the smooth lines...click one point go then click on another..press esc. now go to the pen tool again and pick the pen tool with a "+"...click in the middle of your line and pull in any direction.

Then go to the path pallete (with the layers) and at the bottom pick stroke.

It will stroke your line with the brush at hand.

The pen tool can be pretty unnerving at first...if you need help do a search here I know it's been well discussed.

Good luck,

Lasa

It would help to do a search for Adobe Illustrator tutorials. (here is one: http://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/modPage.asp?ID=12)
The pen tools are very similar. And there are a lot more tutorials out there for AI compared to pen tool tuts for PS.
