I am working my way through both Martin Evenings "PSCS for Photographers" and Barbara Obermeiers "PSCS for Dummies" (thats me I think) and I'm really struggling to understand curved paths.Does anyone know of a site that explains them in very basic terms i.e. kids stuff?.As I understand it when I drag from a straight segment to create a new path for a curve and release the mouse and I should get an anchor point and one direction line and one direction point,but all I seem to get is what appears to be a tiny plus sign at the end of the line. Confused

humm... im not sure what ur asking exactly. if you tell me the kind of shape you want, i can try to help. or if you just draw it with the brush and post that, then i can try to explain how to get the result u want. as far as a site... i dont know of any, but im sure there are TONS out there. just go to google and type "photoshop pen tool"

You have to drag out the line, then you can get the curve effect. Wayne
