Hi...This is a logo which I need to have a pretty much perfect arc at each side.

I cannot figure out how to do this. It needs to look like it was drawn like the rest of the picture. I can provide the psd file if someone would willingingly do this for me...or if you can explain it in a forum just let me know.

Crop that image down to a reasonable size—so that it doesn't break the formatting, and you get rid of all the excess white space— and I'll be happy to tell you.

lol Utopian.
Do you mean curve the two lines that rise in the middle? Use paths to do that.

Buddy,

Use paths. Read about how to use the pen tool. It is a miracle worker - recently discovered by me last night :-D.

I got it...I just used the circle marquee tool and then I drew another marquee circle while holding "alt" inside of it.

I knew you could do this but I didnt think i could still get it to look like its was drawn...I thought it would give it more of a half-moon look...I guess not...after I create the one side I just duplicated the layer and then I flipped it.

Here is the final result...although still big all the whitespace is gone. Right after this reply is posted I will scale it down a lil bit...by the way utopian...I have been using photoshop for about 2-3 months now...and I was using gimp for years before photoshop came along...so yes I know much about graphics...just not everything about photoshop

Is that how you really want it, or do you want it to have an even offset between the inside and outside strokes?

Would you rather use something like this?

You have much learning ahead of you, grasshopper.

I don't understand - why so many edits? The PHP Coding thing also screws up the layout.
