Here is a quick and easy way to make those seamless curves in photoshop.

1. Open up a new photoshop document 400 by 400 pixels with a white background. Now make sure you have rulers and grid turned on to make the curves prefect.

Tip - To turn on grid press (CTRL+') and to turn on rulers press (CRTL+R)

2. Now select the pen tool (P). Click on one area of the page where you would like to start your curve, placing it on the edge of the grid where 2 lines intersect is best, to make a prefect curve.

3. Now click on a second point of the grid (don't let go of the mouse button just yet). Now while holding down the mouse button, drag the cursor just right of the point to achieve the curve you want.

Tip - Make sure Paths are turned on in the pen options up top.
