[Since EBCDIC]

London Underground subway maps feature colored lines which gracefully bend to join straight segments which run at 45 degree angles.

I'm a raster kind of guy, so it's frustrating to me that I can't duplicate this is Photoshop in a vector mode. If I understand what I'm reading, I want to make a bezier path with the pen tools and then stroke it with a line that's 14 pixels wide in one of the primary colors.

Would someone please hand me a clue? I've read two web tutorials, but they assume I want to make some selection path, and don't talk about making lines with bends.

I'm using Photoshop 7. Many, many thanks.

Assuming you meerly want to stroke a path, then I can help.

Firstly and most important, if you want to stroke, you need to set up your stroking settings. What size brush (14pt hard) what color, and what opaquicty (100%).

Then, draw your line. Then, clik on the path tab in the pallette, then right click on the layer for the option to 'stroke path'. Each stroke should be on a new layer so it's easier o play with them later.

So new layer, pen tool, stroke.
