Illustrator pen auto-correction on Photoshop

Question

Illustator has a nice effect on it pencil tool : curve auto-correction. When you draw line, it automatically correct your hand, making it more neat and round. Sadly, I don't see this option on the photoshop pencil tool.

And well, I can't /don't want use Illustrator for several reasons, including the fact it's not really suitable for drawing. I'm quite surprised don't found it on Photoshop, according to how usefull it is.

So there is my question : is there any plugin or way to benefit it on Photoshop ? Many thanks.

Answer 2

Try playing round with the free-form pen tool, once selected there is a control panel allowing some degree of 'curve fit' similar to correction.

Answer 3

You're referring to Smoothness and Fidelity settings within Illustrator.

I'm unaware of any plug in which adds these options to Photoshop. Remember vector tools in Photoshop are not designed to be as robust as in an actual vector application, such as Illustrator.
