"Bezier curve"
Negative.
Photoshop does not have a bezier tool and even if it did you could not create these with it:

Is this the type of curve to which you refer?
P.S. See these swirls in use on my signature image

You don't need the Squirly Tool, just the Pen Tool :)

If you click on the Pen Tool and look in the Tool Options Bar, is the Shape Layers box selected/ highlighted?
(Look towards the top left of the screen, but make sure you have the Pen Tool selected).

O.K., then . . . go here and follow the instructions. If you have a paintkit open in PS bypass the Create New Doc part and simply create the New Layer. After you've made a few swirls, these layers can be Duplicated to other repaints. To get the final shape for you repaint, use Edit/Transform/Scale

Thanks to the Abstract Swirl tutorial author and Good Luck using this great PhotoShop feature.

Hey Wji I dont think we are useing the exact same Paint Shop Pro Program. I'm using the version 9.0 and I think it says at the bottom of your sig, that u r using 7. Well thanx anyways. I really wish I could get this done alot easier.

Hey Startobat, I found that beizer tool and it's really hard to use, is there an easier tool to create a squarli line.
