Photoshop Elements 2019 - Where is the Curvature Pen Tool?

[tjfan001]

I'm using Photoshop Elements 2019. All I want to do is to draw a smooth curved line that connects several straight lines like the picture showed below. I heard that there is a so-called "curvature pen tool" somewhere in Photoshop but I couldn't find it. When I click and hold the "Pen" icon all I can see is the pen tool. Any help is appreciated.

Wait a minute. That's NOT the pen tool. That's the pencil tool. I don't even have a pen tool. So there is no pen tool in Elements 19?

Also, I was using Elements 19, which is 2021. Sorry for the mistakes (Once I posted it, I cannot edit/correct it).

It's in Photoshop.   It is not in Photoshop Elements, which is what your image shows.

There is no pen tool in any version of PSE.

So what is the best way in PSE to draw lines that connect smoothly (like an arc)?

See if this works:

Wow! That's an interesting approach. I may want to give a shot; however, this seems to be doing a lot of extra works in order to achieve a simple task.

I've discovered something, using pse 2025- no reason why it isn't the same for your version.  This works with straight lines.  It's not curved but it connects your lines. 

Select your pencil tool-  set the width.
HOLD DOWN YOUR LEFT SHIFT.

DRAW YOUR FIRST LINE- HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL. KEEP HOLDING DOWN YOUR LEFT SHIFT.

MOVE YOUR MOUSE TO WHERE YOU WANT THE NEXT LINE SEGMENT TO END- CLICK ONCE.

KEEP HOLDING YOUR LEFT SHIFT DOWN.

MOVE YOU MOUSE CURSOR TO WHERE YOU WANT THE NEXT SEGMENT TO END, CLICK ONCE WITH YOUR LEFT MOUSE BUTTON.

This technique works ok but the segments don't look quite connected - you can see some zigzags or gaps. 

Looks like PSE is not a good graphic tool. It's a fine photo enhancement tool.

If you have a relatively steady hand, you could try the Brush Tool to draw the curves.
