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

@9954431,

Do you need a vector for this gap or do you just need to fill it in?

If all you need to do is fill it in, you can use stroke to adjust width, instead of the former width setting. Draw the line down the center of the gap, then change the stroke to the correct size (width).

I appreciate the new behavior in Photoshop and I think it will prove very useful. However, I am very disappointed that the old behavior is gone. I often draw vector shapes in Photoshop and relied on the original "rectangle" behavior of the line tool to be able to draw rectangles as lines. For example, right now I am doing some outlining work (below) and was immediately thrown by this change of behavior. Now to to accomplish the same task which was quick and easy with the line tool before, I will have to draw out rectangles and then rotate and scale them into position--much more work, tedious, and imprecise--or switch over to Illustrator for this work so that I can draw out lines and convert them to shapes.

An ideal solution for me would be to add back in the original behavior as a separate vector shape or a toggle/option for the line (or rectangle!) tool.

Yes, i use Pixel lines all the time too and the tool is now greyed out in the dropdown?

Previous to Photoshop 22, the line tool was defined as a rectangle with a fill and a stroke. This was changed to two end points and a stroke between them (similar to how lines in Illustrator and XD work).

The size of the line is now controlled by the stroke width of the segment between the endpoints. Fill now just refers to the fill color of an arrowhead, should you use that.

So yes, the width function is no longer applicable.

For the dash issue, check your alignment for the strokes; make sure it's center-aligned.

Thank you Rishu for the confirmation. (I'm not particularly thrilled with this change, but I appreciate your quick and informative response.)

Yes, the weight option has been removed and now stroke field will govern that functionality instead. Its at options Bar and Properties Panel

Thanks!

I'm having problems with it as well.    I drew 3 lines, each with a different stroke/fill and line combination.  In the lowest two layers the lines look identical in spite of different colors/thicknesses.  In the top layer with the dashed line, there is no dash and appears to be no fill.

Also, if the top layer is active, you can not see the other two layers, even though all layers are turned on and the background on each layer is transparent.  If the middle layer is active, you can see the top layer and the middle, but not the bottom.  If the bottom layer is active, you can see the bottom layer and the top, but not the middle.

Also the length of the top line is much shorter than the bounding box for that layer.

I would attach the psd file, but I can't upload a psd and apparently the Save for Web function is not working right either.  I asked it to save a jpeg but in the 4-up display, I see the original, one jpeg option and two GIF options?  Interestingly, in the jpgs created by Export for Web, the only thing you can see is the yellow "line" with no fill and neither of the blue fill with no stroke lines.  Something clearly isn't right.

How could you do this?? Am I the only person on the planet who uses the line tool to actually draw lines? I work in commercial real estate, and need to draw lines and arrows multiple times a day. But now I can't because the tool doesn't work any more. PLEASE tell me the reasoning behind this absurd decision to get rid of this functionality.

Thanks Jeffrey, this was helpful.

Does this mean the old "weight" option for lines is gone for good then?

Yes, currently native lines only go to 3px.

You can use this method to use Stroke to make the lines thicker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDoZdcj26HQ
