The S-Curve cut is a great way of producing
a sleek curve on your interfaces. A Simple technique that makes use of the
Photoshop pen tool which can be a little tricky at the first few tries. |

The image on the left show a simple header
I created using the
S-Curve cut. |
 |
You can start by selecting the Pen
Tool. Plot the points similar to the pattern on the left
image. This will |
make the path that you will use to create the
selection.
You will need to position two key points
on your path that will be diagonal to each other. The distance of
the two key points will determine how smooth the S Curve will be. |
|
 |
 |
 |
Select the Convert Anchor Point Tool
and click and drag horizontally on the two key points to create the
|
| curve. This part should be easy as the path will
show the curve and give you a better idea of what the cut will look
like. You can then make the adjustments on the curve using the same
tool. |
|
 |
After preparing the path, all you need to do is create the
selection by clicking on the "Load path as
selection" |
button which
is located at the Path Palette.
Once the selection has been loaded, just go back to the layers
palette then select the pattern then hit the delete
key to make the cut.
Remove the excess section by using the rectangular
marquee tool and you're done. |
