curves && swirls

[xdonald]

Does anyone know how or know any tutorials that show how to make curves and swirls? I'm not just talking about any swirls, I can find brushes for that, but the archs such as ones in layouts listed below (v)
I've seen some for adobe illustrator, but I don't have that program, I'm sure there's some way to make them in photoshop

examples:
http://pimpyourdino.com/ (the swirl going across the layout w/ multiple colors)
http://sprinkle-sparkle.co.uk (the rainbow swirl going around the header)

thnx in advance ;)

Same question

But I think it's just a pen tool swirl made thicker or something with a stroke

IDK But if someone knows a tutorial I'd like to see it :kiss:

Thanks a lot! I've been trying to find a good tutorial for that for months :P
but is there one for photoshop?

Donald, its basically the same thing. Just go to Edit > Transform > Warp...

I've actually been finding myself using Illustrator a bit more than photoshop. Idk why but Illustrator, its just...cooler lol And then pen tool seems a bit easier to get by compared to photoshop. Its much more "curvier" in a way lol

[fabulosity]

Is there a way for this to be done in PSP?

[xdonald]

this tutorial confuses me, I can't figure it out :(
i stop right at this part:
'Use the Direct Selection Tool to select a vertical line of points from the Mesh, use the Scale Tool whilst holding Shift to enlarge the end points proportionally.'
i wish they had a video version =/
