Bev's Bezier Curve Tutorial

I got a lovely call from Bev tonight asking how to make Bezier Curves.
She sent me a few to show what she wants to do and I made this tutorial.
I hope you enjoy it! If you like this sample, click on it for the full psp file.

This tutorial uses PSP7. The whole thing with Bezier curves is when
you click the mouse. Each left click is important.
Click on the Pen icon
then the Tool Palette. Click for Bezier Curve.
VECTOR Setting!

Click once and draw out to the right.

click once again and an 'arm' will appear so you can curve the start of the line.

Click one time more, and the 'arm' for the end line
will appear so you can curve it.

When you have the arm out you can curve the line the way you want it.

Click off the image to release the shape.


If it is not quite the way you want it to look,
Click on the Node edit icon


Click on Node Edit on the Tool Palette too

This gives you control over each node so you can curve it as desired.

When you get a shape you like, click off the image,
right click on the layer and convert to raster.
stretch to the width you like.

You can even deform to a small size, duplicate it and a-line then merge the layers.
Make the curves a transparent tube or selection if you like and enjoy!

Here are some curves I did in psp format..
