				i know it sounds simple...but i can't figure it out.  i know i can do it with the PEN tool...but there's gotta be a way to do it more precise.   
 
 
thanks!

				the pro way to draw a wavy line is with the PEN tool. but if you are looking for some other and easy way, here's one trick for you. Select TYPE tool (T) and type Minus "-" several times or whatever is your required line size (try to use Arial font, then set the character spacing to -200 so it looks like a straight line.Now Goto Layer>Type>Wrap Text. and select Wave from the menu or whatever you like. now you can change it to any sape you like. isn't it easy and tricky?  
 
 
EDIT: You can change the line thickness by changing font size or simple transform |

				Make a new layer (about 1500x1500) and use the 'Line Tool' to draw a
 
straight line (about 30 pixels wide).
 
 
Select Filter - Distort - Wave
 
 
SETTINGS:
 
 
Type: Sine
 
Number of Generators: 999 (how high you want the curves)
 
Wavelength: 250, 250 (how many curves)
 
Amplitude: 1, 150
 
Scale: 1, 1
 
 
Play around with the sliders to get different effects. |
