Editing Nodes in Vector Images

As we learned previously nodes are the little boxes we find around the selection in a Vector graphic. We can edit those nodes to skew or even curve our lines. Open a new image in PSP. With the Shapes Tool, Anti-Alias and Create on a Vector boxes check, draw a vector shape on your canvas. I used this Triange as an example.

The red boxes around the outline of the selection is what is called Nodes. Click on your Pen Tool

then click on Edit Mode in the Tool Options Menu. Hover the cursor over the Node until it turns into an arrow with a cross under it, click on the Node and drag it to the position you desire and let go. If satisfied Tap Apply in the Tool Options Menu.

to make it look like this.

Again Click on the Pen tool in Edit Mode and hover over a line until you see the cursor turn into an arrow with a curvy line under it, now right click, you will see that there are some options here to change our image, go to Node Type and click on Curve After. We now see that there is a new Node on our line, This Node has a handle and if you drag that handle it will make a curve. Click Apply when done. Here I have done this to two sides of my triangle.

There you have it. This is how to Edit Nodes in Vector Images.
