HOW TO DRAW A BEZIER CURVE
The Bezier
curve using PSP is used to draw smooth flowing lines.
This tutorial will show you how to create a bezier curve to use in website
graphics and we have used screenshots to make the tutorial easier to follow.
Open a new graphic large enough to hold your curved line. 
Set the Stroke line to a solid color and the Fill (background)
off.
Select the Drawing Tool
and then click on the Toggle Tool Options
and apply the following settings.
Type
= Bezier Curve
Line width = 2 (usually a small number)
Line Style = Straight Line
Antialias = Checked
Create as Vector = Checked
Holding
down the Shift Key to constrain the line, draw a straight line from
left to right by clicking and holding the left mouse button and dragging
across the image.
Click once below the line and once on top of the line to create the curve.
Release the mouse. 
You can
edit the curve of the line by clicking on the Object Selector tool then
on the curved line. Choose Node Edit.
To increase the curve of the line, pull out on the round handle. To decrease the
curve, push in on the round handle.
