How do I create this shape in Photoshop? It has to have the smooth lines. See example.
I know this is easy to do in Illustrator but I do not have acess to that program.
TIA!

Use the Polygon Tool
And set the options in the Control bar across the top of the screen before you draw
With smooth indents checked....
From here it's more a matter of exploration. Because these aren't "live" shapes and you can't readily alter the options after the object is drawn, you will often have to guess.. draw.. delete.. refine.. draw again... and repeat until you get exactly what you are after.
So from the second circle above..... I'd need to reduce the number of sides and redraw to get closer to your original image.
Of course, there's also a custom shape already included with Photoshop.... How to make a circular zigzag in Photoshop?
(This is a 5 second thing in Illustrator which offers much more rapid editing of the shape and then could be copy/pasted as a path back to Photoshop and saved as a Custom Shape.)
