20. Select the right-hand side line of the rectangle and click on the 'Convert line segment to curve' button on the Attribute Toolbar.

21. Click on the + (plus) sign under 'Edit point' on the Attribute Toolbar and add a node where shown.

22. Use the control handles to create the curve illustrated.

23. Click out of Path Edit mode and your lens cover should look like the one illustrated opposite.

24. Select the rectangle to the right of the lens cover - indicated with an arrow in the picture opposite (this selects the appropriate preset for us to use).

25. Using the Path Drawing Tool, Shape - Rounded Rectangle: Border - 5: Depth - 30: draw a small shape, 10W x 125H pixels and put in place on the lens cover.

32. In the Path Panel/Shape tab change the roundness to 55. Put in place as shown.

Now we need to create a curve that matches the one on the left, so I would recommend moving the piece you just created over to the left hand side before going into Path Edit. This way you can use the shape underneath to help to form your curve.

33. Once the piece is in place, click on the Editing button to go into Path Edit and then move the two nodes to the positions indicated by the arrows left.

34. Click on the - (minus) sign under 'Edit point' and delete one of the two nodes on the left hand line.

35. Move the remaining mode on that line to the position shown and then use the control handles to produce a curve to match the one beneath. Once you are happy with this, exit Path Edit mode.

36. Reposition the piece on the camera and use Path Edit to make any final adjustments to the rounded corners etc so that they match those on the shape below.

37. Finally, use the Object Paint Eraser to remove any excess from the shape beneath. The result should look like that illustrated opposite.
