P: Photoshop 22.0: Where is Line Weight/Width and Pixels options?

Poetic canis lupus license. . . Go forth and be creative despite the obstacles! Stay safe!

@dgrainger, not wishing to digress from the important business of bitching, the reference wasn't literary but factual: wolves don't, nor have they ever, howled at the moon. Your post was nonetheless appreciated for its usual comedic value.

Digression over. On with the motley, and the paint, and the powder!

While I detest it as well, as seen in business and life, far to often (in my best Shakespearean voice) "the squeaky wheel gets the greaseth".

@JemShaw: Actually, I wasn't quoting anybody, but am curious: your response seems to indicate that there is a literary passage about which I am unaware. I would appreciate it if you could steer me to it.

My point, that I was trying to make, was that things are what that are, and will resolve in time; banging on pots and pans at the factory gate does not impact the speed at which that resolution will occur, but it starts to really annoy the rest of the city.

So we move on to misinformed anthropomorphism?

750 millennia wolves have howled at night

Thousands more, moon has continued to rise most nights

Unrelated?

Wolves are well-fed

Wolves howl to communicate

Photoshop users, on the other hand, get pissed off with being ignored by the people whose wages they pay. Fortunately, @dgrainger provides us some small entertainment with his incomprehensible obsession with peppering this forum with his objections to our freedom of speech.

Mr Grainger, as you clearly dislike this forum, I'm often been tempted to suggest you leave it alone and do something you enjoy. Now my opinion has changed. Please stay; we look forward to your daily trolling.

The wolf metaphor was hilarious. For your next gem of wisdom, can I suggest you try misquoting Shakespeare?

Thousands of millennia of wolves have howled at the moon.

Thousands more, moon has continued to rise every night.

Disregard?

Wolves are very frustrated.

Moonlight bathes all other animals.

New Update today.

Much Excitement.

Open PS.

See Pixels still greyed out on Line Tool.

Angrily throw PC out window.

It seems we both have used PS for a good slice of our life!! 

I'll definitely try to do what you say with Affinity and see if their suit can do the same job as with PS+AI+ID.

I totally agree that during the last years the instability, the screen updating issues etc have become unacceptable. 

I'm afraid that Adobe is following the same dev model other internet companies have: experimentation. They change something and then use statistics to evaluate the impact. If people say a button must be pink instead of black.....it will be pink. This implies that if users impacted by the line tool change is a minor or irrelevant part of the customers.....the line tool will never come back. Hope I'm wrong. Read the book "Experimentation works" to get an idea of the model. In the end we will get only products that the majority of people wants, even if it makes no sense. 

Ok ADOBE,

It's obvious that you have a major problem here.

Your Complaints and Feedback system is obviously not fit for purpose. You are driving a large number of your users up the wall with this issue and nobody feels you care, are doing anything about it, understand your user base or can see how much this issue is upsetting people.

Users have now gotten to the point where they have decided that other software is the answer. I suggest that you get somebody knowledgeable to explain to us (THE PEOPLE THAT PAY YOUR WAGES) what is going on, the complexities involved and when we can expect to see this tool re-appear. 

And perhaps you could review your approach to improving the software as a lot of professionals believe you are going in the wrong direction.

There, I've laid it out for you.

If nobody replies to this then we can assume that you are not capable or whiling of fixing this issue and you have absolutely no regard for your customers.

@DGrainger, it may be non-productive, but it's all we have to try to keep this fix alive. The lack of a timely response by Adobe strongly suggests a lack of will to to fix this idiocy. If we get tired and go away, this arrogant monolith can continue on its self-obsessed road to ruin. Sadly, we're the captives of CC. If we turn to an alternative pixel editor, does that impact their earnings? The majority of us fork out every month because we need the suite of programs, not just Photoshop.

In a more perfect world we could declare a graphic artists' strike and withdraw our subscriptions, but few of us could do that and remain solvent. No, we're stuck with having to suck up Adobe's bullying insouciance. Whatever our views, they'll continue to kill Director, maim DreamWeaver and chase blind alleys like Muse. Eventually they'll ruin enough of their products that we'll be forced to look elsewhere.

In the meantime, surely you can allow us at least to bitch about it.
