I'm kind of in a hurry so I won't be getting into much detail. I just want to know how to make a curve in Photoshop (I think it's with the pen tool, but I can't work it).
You can use the pen tool to draw a curve, but you'll have to 'freestyle' it ( just draw it), but that usually turns out like crap without graphic tablet.
The only perfect way of creating a curve is use the vector tools... Try those out and you'll get what I'm saying!
well... what kind of curve are you talking about? I can make all the curves I want without a tablet or the pen tool
Tablets for me aren't that good at making perfect curves anyway...
So if you elaborate we can help...
And if you're in a hurry don't post, wait till you have time to actually post...
When i create a curve with the pen tool, it fills it in with black colour. Is there any way of removing that?
MrColossal: I want to make an elbow curve.
select the pencil tool, not the brush tool, click once, move the mouse and hold shift and click again, see how it draws a line?
Makes lots of little lines that make up a curve, very quick and easy

But im not drawing a pixel image, they would look crap on a hi-res image.
then use the brush tool
I just use the circle tool, distort it to what I want, then trace it.
The circle is also filled. Can i remove this crap?
By using the technique I told you a few posts ago I made this:

Just try it or post the image you're trying to do..

But i think i have no chance of winning anyway... :-\
Get a tablet would be my best reccomendation, its possible with the mouse, but it's unnecessarily fiddly and time consuming. Ive done drawings with a tablet in minutes that would have taken hours with a mouse.
I just upgraded my computer, it wouldn't be really fair on my mom and dad if I asked them for a tablet now :-\.
I got a pretty good one for 20 euro which equals approximately 20 dollar at eBay.
You don't have to spend 200 bucks for a high-quality professional tablet. Maybe later when you get really good but to get started something for beginners is just fine!
