Bezier Curve, Widely known as Photoshop Pen tool curve

The idea behind the pen tool, or less commonly known as the Bezier tool  is that geometric constants can be used to create flowing, curvaceous lines and designs. It was because of this tool, developed by Pierre Bezier in 1962 and then put to work in the auto manufacturing industry, came about the advent of curvy, smooth cars rather than the Caprice Classics of the day. Adobe has put Beziers mathematic principles to good use in many of its previous versions of Photoshop and Illustrator up until today. More >
