hey Mary, I would be happy to help you out, and yes you can move the files into photoshop. I’ll send you an email later.

You may be my dream come true! I need help to make a few designs… One of them is kind of like a fancy letter “s” (for lack of a beeter description), the other is a flat arc with a few rays of sun. Can you possibly help me with these? I would also be able to change their size as needed for my project, and then print them out so I could use them as a sort of stencil.
Any kind of tutorial you could give me on this would be wonderful!
Oops, I just realized that the computer “swallowed” the illustrator part of our Adobe which leaves us only with photoshop. Can the above be done on photoshop?
Thank you for any input/advice you have.

@Bobette, your right. I missed that some how. You can use the pen tool instead. Make one point on the screen. When selecting the second point hold and drag the tool to make the arc.

If your wanting a perfect arc. Draw a rectangle on the screen. Then draw a circle over it with the arc outside the square. Then go to your transform tools and select minus back.

I’ll update the tutorial when I get a chance.

Thanks for the tutorial. I’m new to Illustrator and totally lost. I bought Illustrator 9 in 2002, and this is the first time I’ve touched it. I learned a lot from your instructions. Illustrator 9, however, doesn’t have the arc tool. It came out in version 10, which I discovered in a web search. So I was stuck there. I’m trying to draw the stem. :-)
