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

@JemShaw  * * * * * (5 STARS) must agree totally.  Just set it back the way it was, please, Adobe.  This is in no way an "improvement" as far as I am concerned.

Laying in lines (such as property lines over an aerial photo) must be super-easy, fast and laid-in on ONE LAYER!

I tried to replace the new release with an older version and had trouble with that - just make it work the way it was before and I'd be happy.

*Vikki Mount it isn't a bug.  It was a redefining of the line function.  They have listened to the extreme backlash.  They are working on a fix.  It cannot happen overnight.  He's (Mark) told us the fix is coming.  Chill pill.  Please.  EVERYONE....CHILL AND WAIT.

This line and arrow bug in Adobe Photoshop 2021 has still not been fixed. I was forced to use an older saved version of Photoshop to create my double-ended arrow as the centre and weight option etc is missing. You need to fix this pronto, Adobe. I use this feature a lot and would prefer to be able to use the new version of Photoshop rather than the old one.

I’m with you RF23, I believe it’s necessary to know when we can expect the tool to be available again, it will absolutely calm people down.

It’s completely understandable the rant when many people is being charged monthly over a tool they use to work and it’s giving them headaches, making them spending extra cash on other tools or compromising their ability to deliver their work. Please let us be empathetic with each other. 

I'm not sure it forwards the conversation to suggest that being upset at a poorly implemented update, in a professional package from a company of Adobe's standing and resources, is somehow being being childish.

If Adobe came back with an explicit description and a schedule for that fix then I'm sure it would mitigate the tone of some of the responses.

I am sure that is within the capability of a company of such standing.

Let's not get into an argument here, which also sours the atmosphere. Many people have been far more "ranty" than I, to the point of outright rudeness. Throughout it all, Mark has responded positively and professionally. Far from raise the level of ire, I wanted to express appreciation for his contribution.

@JemShaw  Correct. That was my point. Too many people get on this forum and just kvetch, accuse, blame, and rant. My point is, that those tactics are just wasting everybody's time and do not hasten a fix, just sour the atmosphere.

We're not in kindergarten.

@JemShaw Just wondering: did ranting work in kindergarten either?

OK, ranting at Adobe produces no sense of urgency in fixing this, so I have to work with this horrid tool. I want to overlay a pattern of lines over some text to work up into perspective "the text is on the paving slabs" effect.

Clearly vectors are far superior to pixels, I know because Adobe says so.

Old way: add the lines, thickening those closer by simply adding a new line, slightly skewed from the previous. Play with the blend mode, add some noise and it ends up looking like it grew there.

New way: you can't do that, because trying to draw a line close to the previous just picks up the previous line. Not only that, but every time you add a new line, the line properties box pops out, obscuring part of the image. Yes, I could move the box off my toolbar, but I like my workspace the way I've set it. Having to alter it just to draw some bloody lines is ridiculous.

Bottom line*: The new tool is not only an unpopular addition, it doesn't even work properly. If it's a live shape, why doesn't unchecking arrowheads from the selected line remove the damned arrowheads? Once I've found the arcane settings that make a line visible, why aren't those settings retained? Did you really mean to make invisible lines the default?

Adobe, if you insist on messing up your programs with the "enhancements" you feel we should be given, at least finish the job properly first!

P.S. Thanks and appreciation to @mark142840_dahm for putting yourself in the firing line by responding to our rants. It's not your fault that you're being let down by your company's inability or unwillingness to respond to its customers.

* which would be better if I could use pixels
