PSP Drawing Rounded Circles?
I am a new baby at Paintshp Pro, I have had the program for a year or two, but I am still learning to do different things. I do not have Adobe Photoshop as of yet, to do many other things I find on other profesional tutorial sites and / or profile sites. However, I would like to know how to create rounded lines that move around, up and down? For instance, under this site's navigation, you will see a line that moves in circuler shapes from side A to side B.Then underneath the line, is the news area, by the way, the line is white. http://www.dj-designs.com/news.htm
Could anyone posibly tell me how to do this in PSP other than Adobe? or provide tutorials that I can understand?
Thanks!

You can use the pen tool in PSP. This tutorial can give you the basics: http://www.dumlao.cc/psptutorials/psp7/lines.shtml

It can be done using the Draw tool. Settings: type = point to point line, width = # of pixels, line style = #1 solid, antialias = checked, create as vector = optional, close path = unchecked.
When looking at tutorials for Photoshop you've probably read about using the Pen for creating those lines. In PSP, the Draw tool has a similar function.
To make a point simply click with your mouse. If you just click and release the path from one point to another will be straight.
If you click and drag the second point, you'll get a rounded path.
Point = that little square that appears when you click (a.k.a. node in PSP)
Path = the line created
I'm about to write a tutorial on how to use the Draw tool, if you want I can send you a message when I put it up.
