Searching for a certain marquee in Photoshop

Featured Replies

I'm using Photoshop CS3, and so far so good. However, I'm now doing an old Transavia livery for Aerosim's Boeing 737-200, and I have stumbled upon a problem. The green lines on the fuselage of the plane eventually curve upwards to the tail, and it's a pain to make this realistically with the tools at hand, and so I was wondering if there isn't a tool that's like the polygonal lasso tool, but instead of it making straight lines between selected points, you can make these lines curve. I have seen this sort of tool in other programs, and it'd be great if it would be here somewhere too. If it's not in Photoshop as is, is there then maybe a plugin for it? I'm managing as it is, but it'd be so much easier i such a tool existed.

Sounds like you need the Pen Tool (shortcut 'P'), trace the curve and create a path or vector shape out of it.This YouTube video looks pretty good:
The Pen Tool is one of the most useful tools in Photoshop, takes a while to get to grips with but pays off in the end!Feel free to shoot with any problems you have :(

Oh wow, that's it exactly! Thanks for the post!Pity I finished the Transavia repaint by now, but thanks for the help anyway. This will certainly prove invaluable at some later stage. Perhaps if I do another Transavia repaint, but for the CS707? Then I could try it out with the Pen tool.
