    Question Re: tapered curved line

    Hi

    the attached file contains an example of what I'm looking for. Took me 15 secs in xara

    This is the sort of thing I want to create. In Xara you create a line nad then select the shape-type

    cheers

    You're gonna freak out the Photoshop people with what Xara can do quickly.

    well you can profile in photoshop too - but its more involved - there again you get to define the profile shape, which has its advantages too

    Use a curved shape object then subtract another curved shape from it to leave that kind of shape. If you keep the space bar pressed down on the shape that you are subtracting, you can line up the shapes better than guess work. Every bit as fast as Xara on a job like this if you know the program.
