How to you make curves like these in photoshop?

[Juniper]

Here is a template. See the curves in different hues of blues? How can you make such smooth curves using photoshop? Or do they use a different software? My curves always come out jagged and ugly...

They probably used the pen tool. I've been messing around with it lately. It is awesome for those types of things!

 

[Juniper]

Sure is! Now that I've got some time on my hands, its time to learn something new... never too late to learn!

Is there a spline tool or something? Those can make good curves.

<--- finds it much easier to do stuff like that in 3dmax

<--- doesn't know photoshop THAT well, besides doing some texturing
