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

I'm having trouble using the Line Tool in PS 22.0.0. 

 

How do I set the width/weight of the line? In PS 21 there was a "Weight" option along the top bar, but I don't see that anymore. Am I missing it? Or did it move? 

 

This might be a separate issue, but the lines I'm drawing are not showing up. I have a fill color and stroke color selected, but when I make a line, I don't see it. I just see a blue outline of where it is... the same that might happen if I made a "path" instead of a "shape." 

 

I just need to make a line with a width/weight of 20px.

I found it in 'other versions' in the Creative Cloud app- hope that helps!

F**king up the line tool made me finally register here. Ruining the free transform defaults was close. General bloating and startup times dont help either. Even with fast m2 ssds and 100000 times the computing power of moonflights newest versions are laggy and a bit unstable. 

In the least fix the line tool and free transform aspect ratio mistakes...

@drk under the apps tab in CC, click the three dots and hit "other versions" to install the previous version of photoshop.  I would turn off automatic updates too if you value your sanity...

How can I get old versions of Photoshop? My CC only shows these newish broken versions. Accidentally updated and this newest version is total garbage in many regards. Totally interrupts my working habits. Dear Adobe I hate your random update decisions. Hours of wasted work.

Thanks. 

Someone showed me that on a digital photography board and I tried it.

1) I do not like the arrows

2) Copying from Powerpoint produces arrows I like better with aboiut the same time and effort as the legacy shapes.

I have moved on and will use my method until Adobe figures out how to sabotage that.

Lesson to learn, no point in learning complex Photoshop procedures,  new releases will undo them.

Open the Shapes window, click on the three lines. There is an option for "legacy shapes and more" that allows you to get arrows back in shapes. Is that what you need?

Please restore the "pixel mode" in the Line Tool.  I can not be the only one who desperately misses it.  I am having to use and older version of the app.  That just doesn't seem fair.

thank you

'investigating how to support both two point lines and rectangular lines'  ? just give us the tool back the way it was so we can get on with our work. In the meantime I am going back to an earlier version.

I am not a pro but I want to use arrows to annotate.

For me the simplest is to use Powerpoint  This program has objects including arrows yo =can readily format with line types, colors and widths.  I make a few of each type I want .  Copy and paste and edit the new layer as usual.

Kludgey as this is it works and it is fast. 

All in all, losing arrows to get Neural filters that don't work as not an improvement for me.

It's impossible for it to have escaped your notice that your removal of the pixel line tool has been met with pretty much unanimous fury. Yet your community forum still shows this ridiculous change as "Solved". It isn't solved. What you propose is a cumbersome, long-winded and totally non-interactive work-around.

While I can see utility in the new tool, it's not a replacement for the the old one. My car has a retractable roof. On those rare days in the UK when the sun shows its face, I find considerable pleasure in being able to lower it. At no point did the manufacturers decide to do away with the roof because there's an occasional advantage for it not to be there.

The CC community pays a lot of money for what used to be the most complete, professional toolkit. We will continue to do so, and do it happily, if you respond by listening to our wishes rather than impose your own opinions on what facilities you decide to grant to us. You're alienating your customers at a rate that should alarm you, and your users are using your community forum to discuss the best offerings from your competitors.

Your market-leading position is a fragile thing. Wake up to the importance of listening to your customers before it's too late.
