How do I make a curvy line in Adobe Photoshop? I've tried everything I can think of to no avail. I want to make a curvy line like curly hair, air currents, etc.

• I am familiar with it actually. There is no way to select 'curved line' or similar in the objects menu like you can for lines, rectangles, etc. From what I've read on the net you need to make a path with the brush and modify it. I use a tablet and have tried the pencil & brush tools - it's impossible for me to make a perfect curved line.

• Then try an oval, rasterize it, then erase the parts you don't want. Make any others you need to get any other sections of the curve. Then stack the layers, line them up well and merge the layers.
  From there you can use your filters to do any number of magical things.
  There are lots of ways to do lots of things in PS. Just experiment! It will come to you eventually.

• I have done that, but it's a pain. It takes lots of time, aligning, precise work, and in the end a simple curvy line would solve the issue.

• Jewel is not helpful. Of course we all know to experiment. When hours of experimentation is over is when we Google information for tips from those who can help out.
