Hello, I just wanted to know if there was a way to curve a line that you have made using line tool. I have Macromedia Flash 8 and they have an "Envelope" option to curve a line and I was wondering if Photoshop 8 has a similar feature.

Make a path with the Pen and stroke it.

There are the various distort Filters and Liquify (and Warp in CS2 I am told) but I think the path option is probably most useful.

ok using the pen tool isnt what im looking for… maybe cuz i can find stroke… but using just the pen tool isnt what i want. What im looking for is making a strait line curved, shape it like a curvy road or sumthing. i dont see the pen tool doing that, the pen tool fills in the black area if u know what i mean… i dont want that

Make sure you are using the correct pen tool option.

You can stroke the path by picking a brush and choosing Stroke from the Paths palette. But Photoshop isn’t instantly understandable. It takes time to learn.

You can add and anchor point on the line using "Add Anchor Point Tool" on the line and using the "Direct Selection Tool" move the anchor point to distort the line.
