I'm using CS2. I for the life of me can't remember how to take a straight line and bend it. If I can remember correctly, you can grab it where ever you want to and moce it up or down.. Can someone please help..

Did you try Edit > Transform > Warp? Or you can just use paths, with the Pen Tool.

only if line is drawn with pentool, you can use the direct selection tool (open arrow) and select the individual points to move them or grap the handles to bend the line into curve. (conver tool first in that case: the tool looks like angle)

Goose,

1. Activate the Pen Tool
2. Click where you want to set the starting point
3. Click at the end point and (immediately) drag to define curvature
(see flash movie on the Pen tool)
3. Right-click on the path, and choose "Stroke path" item

What program did you use to make the .gif animation, Scythar? Pretty cool.
