0 Evil Dragon Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 It looks like you're using photoshop. What you want to do is select the corner you want using the direct select tool, then take the convert point tool (under the pen) and click and drag it, and you'll see it become a curve.

0 Evil Dragon Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I should have specified - click and drag on the point itself, while it it selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
