    Default smooth curves

    Hi

    I suspect I've gone about this the wrong way.

    As you can see from the attached file I want to create two rectangles with curves on one side with space in the middle .

    I drew two quick shape rectangles, converted them to editable shapes and then used the shape editor tool. I then need to add feathering etc etc the results are ok but not as I want.

    I seem unable to get the curves smooth- they just look rough.

    Can someone tell me what to do to rectify this?

    thanks

    Ian

    How about having one green rectangle, pictured shape on top? Perhaps then clone 'middle' shape, move clone to side, subtract shapes so you're left with two green shapes and give them a drop shadow, then move clone back.

    Feathering as required

    Hi Ian,

    I usually reduce the number of nodes so the curves are smoother.
