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

[mrbobdobolina]

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.

i am having a problem with this too.  i use the lines with arrowheads all the time to annotate my images.  due to the standardisation the arrows have to be yellow with a black outline.  so by having now having to adjust the stroke and the fill having no use i can only make the arrow one colour.  Now i cant just click and drag an arrow out.  the best solution i have come up with is to use the custom shape tool.  but this always puts the arrow facing the same direction and not the point at the start of the click so my workflow has increased greatly.  another option is to create an outer glow template to add after the arrow has been drawn but this is also time consuming.  seems like a silly thing to have got rid of.  I have had to resort back to the older version of Photoshop which is a shame

This new behavior is so confusing. Yes, holding shift creates just one layer, but it also constrains to straight/45° lines. So you have to be very careful with pressing and releasing the shift key. To be honest I consider that a bad design choice. Anyways, I almost exclusively used the old Line tool as an easy to use tool for creating arbitrary guides as a visual help when retouching (which is unfortunately not otherwise possible). And immediately it seems more complicated as I don't need all this fancy Liveform stuff ... maybe I get used to it 😞

@Kenneth Campbell arrowheads support fill and stroke both, similar to previous Ps versions.

[KenCampbell1]

on the latest update (22.0) the arrow head supports fill but the line doesnt.  The new line tool is restricted to 2 points and can only be given width by the outer stroke unfortunately.  

[rajneeshc68428823]

@Kenneth Campbell both outer and on-the-shape stroke alignments work for line shapes. The inside stroke alignment doesn't work now because lines have zero weight, and there's no inside.

[KenCampbell1]

yes,  that is the problem.  if you want a yellow arrow with a black outline for example there is no way of doing that now

[rajneeshc68428823]

@Kenneth Campbell does using yellow fill and black stroke on the line achieve the intended result? This should show yellow arrowheads that are outlined with black colour.

[KenCampbell1]

no.  it fills the arrow head with yellow, but the line has no fill so it is just the black outline.  the only way i could find to do it was make a yellow arrow and then use an outer glow of black to give it a black outline.  i have to do hundreds of these arrows every day so the extra time really mounts up.  easier to use the older version.

[Mark C. Dahm]

You can use Layer Styles to stroke both the arrowhead and the line, if you need them both. 

Additionally, consider saving a preset for your line tool so you can expedite selecting the line with the correct arrowhead and line attributes.

I do think we should add a quick way to apply your stroke layer style to the options bar; that is a good feature request, since that is not saved with the preset.

This new tool is extremely problematic.

Someone from support provided a recommendation of using the line tool with no fill and add the weight to the stroke, and then make additional modifications in the Live Shape Properties tab. That still doesn't work to change the weight of the line itself. When I try to modify the weight, it changes the stroke, not the line.

Additionally, the arrowheads used to be sized proportionally with percentage numbers based on the weight of the line. That has been changed to specific pixels. That makes no sense.

I need to be able to point to objects on pictures and aerial photographs and site plans. This is a simple but integral part of my job every day for 25 years. And now I can't do it. I am having to go into new files, copy the layer with my line or arrow, and then paste it into the new file.

Someone from support also suggested using the pen tool. How? How do I create an arrow with perfectly straight lines using the pen tool? Do I have to draw a long thin rectangle followed by a triangle and then somehow merge them, and fill them and stroke them with the company colors for the project?

How is this progress?

[ericp89416455]

@mark_dahm Any chance the weight option can be added back??? In my daily work I've used the box shape and line tool to crate panels with a gutter. I can't do that If I can't adjust the weight of the line tool.

I also  noticed this change. Its just greyed out. The pixel line tool is super helpful for a lot of quick tasks... so this is actually kind of annoying! In order to draw some lineart I needed yesterday for a comic I had to take my drawing out of photoshop and use a different program. 

[Dominik Sourcé]

There is an ongoing discussion about various changes to the line tool including the pixel option here: https://feedback.photoshop.com/conversations/photoshop/photoshop-220-where-is-the-line-weightwidth-o...

Maybe you're interested ...

[jmyler]

  I know that everyone has a different way of working, and that Photoshop isnt as concerned with illustrators as it is with photographers and designers, but I work in comics and I often have to create lineart with...you know...lines. And this change although adding new options actually makes things so much more slow.  I LIKED the line tool to have Pixel option because I could easily lay down a bunch of strait lines very quickly. With this new change, you make a line, and it immediately is a shape with endpoints so your next mouseclick cant create a line in that spot (since now it presumes you want to position an endpoint, not immediately create a new line from that spot) I could easily connect endpoints before by letting go of line, then starting my next line where the cursor was! 

As it stands, I have to move to another program like Clipstudio or Procreate to create some lines.

Thanks, Jake, for this info; very helpful.

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

It would be very helpful and much appreciated if the pixel option for the line tool could be added as a legacy setting or at least a similar tool could be created. It really helps to speed up environment design that has a lot of architecture.

The good part is, that Adobe didn't touch the code - they only removed the icons...

Using line tool with or without arrowheads and in Photoshop 22.0.0. for Mac OS don't fill or stroke the line. 

[Ståle]

Had to choose line in Stroke Options to make it work, although it indicates that this is set to line type when you start using line tool.

In earlier versions of Photoshop it is set to line as default and you dont have to choose anything to make it work. Still think this is a bug in v 22.0.0.

I won't be upgrading if pixel-mode-lines are disabled in new versions. I'm an illustrator so my workflow is very WYSIWYG. I try to keep the number of 'entities' I need to manage to a bare minimum. I keep my layer stack small. I never use vector objects or smart objects. My focus when I work is on the image itself, and my focus is disturbed when I get pulled out of the image to manage something in the interface. A prime example of this kind of unwelcome distraction is the recent change to selecting a layer blending mode - now you have to hit enter to commit the choice. It's not a big deal in isolation, but it becomes a big deal when you have to do it hundreds of times an hour. Hundreds of distracting unnecessary inputs is /not/ my idea of an improvement.  Likewise with this new line behavior - while it may seem that spawning a new entity that can be edited later is an improvement (and I can see how it might be for some) for me it's another example of extra work - each one of those lines needs to be rasterized and merged down into my current painting layer before I can get back into my painting flow. So yet again I'll being burdened with hundreds of extra unnecessary inputs per day. I fail to see a good reason why you would disable the WYSIWYG functionality in favor of editable entities, rather than support both methods.

Hi Tom,

I'm not a programmer.  What am I supposed to do with this code?

[Tom Winkelmann]

- select & copy the code

- insert it in your text-editor and save it with the ending *.jsx (or as *.txt and rename it)
- start photoshop

- create a document

- run the script

Started to use 2021 and wanted to draw an arrow. I set up the line tool to draw an arrow and all I got was the arrowhead, no line. Turned off the arrow feature and tried just a line and got nothing. Going back to PS2020 for the moment.

Without line weight line shape can only create arrowheads for none existing lines for the tool does stroke line paths and the arrowhead size can not be relative to line weight.  What is happing in Adobe development?

2020 vs 2021

I loath the update on the Line tool - why on earth disable the pixel option. Please fix ASAP
