Hi,

Can anyone help please...

I am quite new to both Photoshop and Flash...and am trying to create a neon sign in
Photoshop...for use as a button in Flash...

I know this is a bit of a plank question but how do you make the neon bars 'rounded'?

I've used Rounded Rectangle tool for the signboard itself, Paintbrush Tool for the bars,
Stroke Effects, Outer Glow, etc but how do I get the bars to curve?

Thanks

Crosbie

pen tool my friend... pen tool....


or stroking a selection of a rounded rectiangle tool shape with about a 5px stroke on a new layer. then giving that stroke an outer glow

Many thanks Coolaid - I used the 5px stroke you suggested - and it works a treat.

Cheers
