i know it sounds simple...but i can't figure it out. i know i can do it with the PEN tool...but there's gotta be a way to do it more precise.

thanks!

the pro way to draw a wavy line is with the PEN tool. but if you are looking for some other and easy way, here's one trick for you. Select TYPE tool (T) and type Minus "-" several times or whatever is your required line size (try to use Arial font, then set the character spacing to -200 so it looks like a straight line.Now Goto Layer>Type>Wrap Text. and select Wave from the menu or whatever you like. now you can change it to any sape you like. isn't it easy and tricky? Smile

EDIT: You can change the line thickness by changing font size or simple transform

Make a new layer (about 1500x1500) and use the 'Line Tool' to draw a
straight line (about 30 pixels wide).

Select Filter - Distort - Wave

SETTINGS:

Type: Sine
Number of Generators: 999 (how high you want the curves)
Wavelength: 250, 250 (how many curves)
Amplitude: 1, 150
Scale: 1, 1

Play around with the sliders to get different effects.
