Pen Tool Lines in CS5.1

Is there a way to increase the pen tool linewidth and make the line a different color? It's a very faint dark color line that is sometimes very difficult to follow around curved edges, especially with a busy background. Photoshop CS5.1, Mac OS High Sierra.

Thanks,

John

Not that I know of. I see the option in CC 2018 but it not in CC 2014 so it was added in a release between CC 2014 and CC 2018.

Thanks JJ!  It's beginning to look like you're right... unfortunately!

On the Mac, go to Photoshop > Preferences > Guides, Grids & Slices... and under Path, use the dropdown menus to select a different color and a different thickness.

Thanks Myra, but I can't find a path option on the preferences panel.  I'll keep looking though.
