Fixed: Pixels option is greyed out for Line tool Photoshop 22.0

I'm liking most of today's update for PShop, thanks Adobe. 

 

But, I went to use the Line Tool (part of the Shape Tools) and the option to draw with pixels is grayed out. I can draw lines with paths and as a shape, but no longer with pixels. The pixels option is available for all the other shapes (square, ellipse, the new triangle, polygon, custom shapes, etc.), so I don't know why it wouldn't work for lines. 

 

Does anyone know what happened?

Hi All,

 

Good news, the Pixels mode is now back. For more details on adjusting line weight see Create lines and arrows using the Line tool

 

To update Photoshop to 22.3, click "Update" in the Creative Cloud desktop app next to Photoshop. See: More detailed instructions for updating

 

Let us know your feedback!

 

Thanks,

Akash

Hi there,

 

We're sorry that the "pixels" option is greyed out for the line tool. I can reproduce this issue at my end. Let me get some more information on this issue from the product team.

 

We appreciate your patience with us.

Thanks,

Mohit

Hello all. I updated to Photoshop 2021 this morning and am having trouble with the line tool. i can't figure out how to change the thickness of the line in the new update. whenever i draw a line, it doesn't show up at all. i've got the color on black and i tried changing the stroke px to a higher number, but it still doesn't show up at all.

 

do any of you know how to increase the thickness of the line tool in the new update?
