MarkusKa Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Hello community, I am new to affinity photo and after watching tutorials and after trial and error I was wondering if I can use the lasso tool to create not only a straight line from point A to B but a line from A to Be and bend it (give it a radius). Is this possible and how can this be done ? It would be great to get a little hint like "click A, then B while holding the left mouse button down and pull to the right" or something like that. Many thanks for your help... Best Regards, Markus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Welcome to the forums. You probably wouldn’t use the “Lasso Tool” (I think you are referring to the Freehand Selection Tool) to draw a curve. The Pen Tool lets you draw curves (drag the mouse pointer instead of clicking to get a curve rather than a straight line) and the Node Tool lets you modify a curve in lots of different ways. See my attached video for some basic examples. 2020-03-26_09-03-55.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarryP Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 You’re welcome, but I should say that I am just a user and have no affiliation with Serif or any of its employees. As such I have played no part in the development of the software, other than doing some beta testing and reporting bugs (like any other user can).
