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

No Line fills with patterns gradients or color

Not only that it is also no longer possible to create a line shape layer with the line tool only an

arrowhead shape layer can be created. Adobe removed line weight 1 to 100. The line tool no longer pulls out closed line paths.  Vertical or horizontal Line Shape layer can be made using the rectangle tool. l. They must be rotated for sloped lines.

Yikes! Your arrow size is set to 50 cm, not pixels; bump that bad boy down under the gear icon in options.

The Line Tool - Pixels option is greyed out in Photoshop 2021.  I'd like to request that Adobe bring this feature back.  It's a tool that my subscription paid for, and removing it is anything but useful.  It's an inherent part of my workflow and using the new functionality with Path/Shape is more time consuming.  

Please bring this feature back.  Until then, I am witholding my annual Adobe Cloud subscription and I urge other users to do the same. 

These types of forced "improvements" are not in the best interest of the user base. I am beyond frustrated with this company's monopoly and lack of user-driven feedback.

If only it were that easy. I tried following your instructions, but I can't get the arrow to even fit on my 11x17 page. PS 2021 arrow

You will see that my line and fill and arrow are to the specs you suggested. Why is it running off the page before I can even draw it? And why am I not permitted to resize it in the properties panel? I tried manually entering the number 3 in the width field, but it doesn't accept my input. So I tried dragging the corners to resize, and that doesn't work either. What am I missing? Oh, yeah: I'm missing a simple tool that let me complete my task with 2-3 steps.

BTW - where are these new "on-canvas handles"? Should I have seen them, or do I have to make changes to my settings?

@guy_davis_irezoxg8xt8qi , Thanks for the feedback, guy; appreciate it!

This is my problem as well. I am also a comic artist and I'm currently working on a UV Unwrap of a model created in Blender.  The way I work is to "trace" some of the lines of the model to make it look like a hand-drawn object.  What I'll do is use the line tool to tap around the model, tracing this line or that line on the edges of the model. It only takes me a moment to do this with the old line tool, and any "inaccuracies" work to my favor, giving it a more organic look. 

I generally have felt that Clip Studio Paint is my go-to for this, but sadly, the text tools in CSP are very lacking and one of the reasons I MAKE 3D models for my comic is so I can plaster walls with warning signs or whatever and then I don't have to try to fight with text in perspective.

This has severely hampered my workflow.  I understand the pen-type tools and their usefulness, indeed I regularly work in Vector in CSP, however, removing the raster function altogether has introduced quite a number of steps for me.

Be aware that I use a monitor tablet for work, and the "shift" key is difficult to reach (Up until now, I didn't NEED to hit the shift key while in "drawing" mode).  Any workflow that requires the shift key being pressed (As in: not creating 60 new layers when each line is created as a live object) is extremely onerous. 

I have my "vector" workflow (On my main monitor) and my "Drawing/Raster" workflow on a drawing monitor.  They are very distinct and moving some features over to one monitor and others to another are horribly disruptive.

I would like to please request that a legacy tool be placed back in: I draw straight lines, then switch to brush and work around curves all the time... this puts those two things on different workflows.  thank you

The new line tool supports everything you are doing, and I thought of maybe a couple of ways you could be more efficient.

• use the line tool with the arrowhead on the end, set to 50px wide, 70px long and concavity @ 20%
• Fill and stroke color = red
• set the stroke to whatever you want; I used 16 pixels on a reasonably sized document for visibility; of course both the stroke sizes and arrowheads vary based on destination document resolution, but there won't be infinite resolutions that force you to muck with the settings anymore than before.
• Draw the line; note that you can adjust either end of the line using the new on-canvas 'handles'
• To add the stroke and drop shadow, use layer effects (couldn't tell if you were doing that or not)

Efficiency idea 1: to the right of the small house icon in the options bar are the presets; click the down arrow just to the right of the diagonal line to save a new preset (the small + icon), which records the stroke color and size:  

I should clarify that is not my art, just an example 🙂 Besides that, none of the new additions to this tool seem to offer the convenience of resizing with brackets on the fly, and having to create a new shape/path layer for every stroke is a complete pain. I really don't think anything is gained from removing this feature, just taking away options for the sake of it. For now I'll be reverting to the previous version of PS. Heck, even having to resize the stroke width through the panel every time will cost me at least 3x the time to complete my work. I would hope that Adobe actually uses their own products, then it would be easy to tell that the functionality of the line tool is simply not the same as using a flat brush. I understand you can only do so much from your position at Adobe, so thanks for the suggestions anyway. I really hope it's as easy as "just toss in the functionality you had a week ago and voila, problem solved, forum closed, everybody's happy"

Enjoyed your art.

Most workflows that depended on the line tool to behave like the rectangle tool can leverage the rectangle tool for most of the same uses.

The bracket accelerator is quite handy for resizing the width of the former 'lines', but the width and height controls in the options panel also allow you control for width and height, as well as location on the canvas (X/Y).

If you are especially missing the 'Path' option for the line tool, then the pencil or a flat brush should let you paint those same lines. Bracket also adjusts brush size; if I'm missing something about your workflow, let me know.
