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.

Yes, I noticed this change too and it REALLY affects my workflow in a negative way. The simplicity of drawing pixel lines is absolutely a necessity for me. I hope they consider re-adding this feature.

Installed the new update (22.0.1), but it wasn't fixed ... so another 4+ weeks to wait till next update?

Hey when will you fix what you broke? Can i get my money back? How can I download older versions of PS? I'd like to use first CC release or CS6

Hi Adobe, any update on the lack of pixel option for the line tool? 

Many thanks,

Why, oh why, did Adobe change this?!
What used to be so simple and intuitive now appears to be very complicated!!


I just want to be able to draw a quick arrow. Microsoft, of all people, makes it easier than you folks do, for the love of Pete!

Adobe Photoshop, a pixel editing tool, removed pixel-level functionality from the line tool in favor of a vector-based solution. 

I am certain that I am beating a dead horse here. It's a tone-deaf change to the functionality. A change that undermines the ease and convenience of working in Photoshop.

The pixel-level line tool allowed me direct access to pixels. I could precisely edge. Sketch my own perspectives, and even play with the design in freeform. There are workarounds, of course. The easiest of which is to use the prior version of Photoshop and hope that Adobe sorts this out before my annual renewal comes due.

Drawing a non-anti-aliased line is not possible? Who signed off on that one? It's a crazy decision.

How can I continue subscribing if such a basic feature I consistently rely on can be removed just like that?

Jason, we old farts maybe need to stop being creative then!

I was once on the Adobe beta testing team, and was testing a lot of programs, mainly Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator and InDesign, as I've been working as a graphic designer and photographer for a long time (also been tutoring in these programs as well as translating books by Scott Kelby about them from English to Swedish). But this was pre-subscription era.

Maybe I need to get on to those beta testing teams again (if Adobe wants me) to make sure these young guns are kept in check! 😉

Photoshop 2.5 was my first version. I'm right there with you. Adobe doesn't seem to care about those of us who have been with them for a very long time.
