Smoothing the path with the smooth tool
The smooth tool lets you smooth out an existing stroke or section of a path. The smooth tool retains the original shape of the path as much as possible.
To use the smooth tool: - If the path to smooth is not selected, select it with the selection tool
. Or Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) the path to select it. - Do one of the following:
- Select the smooth tool
. - When the pencil or paintbrush tool is selected, hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) to change the pencil to the smooth tool.
- Drag the tool along the length of the path segment you want to smooth out. The modified stroke or path may have fewer anchor points than the original.
- Continue smoothing until the stroke or path is the desired smoothness.
