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

This keeps being marked as "Solved" when it is not. Unbelievable

May people have stated that the line is needed for their workflows and all the answers we are getting from Adobe are extremely tone deaf.
Quoting here@CMJRoss_CRE " Photoshop's old lines were problematic to move around onscreen after you drew them, and the weight control was not interactive (after you drew the line, changing the value would not affect the line, but would control how the NEXT line would be drawn)".

We really don't care about weight control, we don't need them to be interactive, no one want to change the value after the line is created. All we need are straight lines. Hear the people that actually use the software instead of pushing changes into us that we are not needing and is ruining our workflows, not improving them.
It's insulting to read time and time again why these changes are great while we are telling you this is affecting our work.

If this is not fixed I'm moving to Clip Studio Paint. I can't stand a company that does not hear their users and push changes this way.

Clip Studio Paint is pretty good! I've been using it since the summer and it has its advantages.

The biggest is they seem to listen to their user base.

The closest I know of to Photoshop is GIMP. I've used it here and there over the years, and it can do everything that Photoshop does, but without some of the fancy automation that comprises most of Photoshop's new features for the last decade or two. So it can do everything, but sometimes you have to do it the way we did in Photoshop in the late nineties. Oh, and it does have a ton of plugins that probably take up that slack, but I've never used it enough to get into those.

Mostly I've used GIMP when actually working on-site somewhere that didn't have Photoshop. But mostly I insist on working off-site (for the last fifteen years), ergo have my own PS.

Can you, please, consider adding this option BACK?

It's one of the most useful uses of this tool, quick sketching straight lines during perspective measurements. It is way worse to make quick checks if, everytime you use, it create a new shape layer or having a properties dialog openning.

I understand that having more control with the line tools has its advantages, but if I had to choose, one or another, i would go back right away.

rpietragalla Make sure to write this in the feedback forum as well, which seems to count more:

The line tool on pixel mode is absolutely important to my line of work. I am a jewelry retoucher and use the line tool on pixels mode for retouching thin reflections and cleaning up straight edges on metals and gems. This is a very bad decision to omit something like this all of a sudden when it's been part of my workflow for years.

I push pixels around all day, not vector shapes. I can make similar straight lines with brush + shift, but the line tool is the best and more accurate for some things.

Adobe, what are you doing? This is no feature to me. Are you going to one day remove the brush tool?

HELLO? ADOBE? ANYBODY HOME?

Can't you see from the above how many frustrating wasted hours you have created with this daft move?

Please... restore the ability for us snap out pixelated lines.

I see there is a response in the feedback forum. Looks like they might bring it back, but not for a while. The Adobe rep answered today that we may consider rolling back the update if we need the line tool that much. To me, it seems that they aren't staying true to the core of the program, a photo shop. I use it to edit photos, not vectors. I know lots of people are using it for vector things, but why eliminate core functionality that deals with pixels for those of us who retouch photos or other non-vector work. Is it because people don't like Illustrator? lol

This is such a silly thing to omit. Why not just have stroke, shape AND pixels (like it always was), why get rid of the pixel option? Now its taking me 4 times as long to do some quick roughs. I never used stroke or shape for lines. Just pixels so I could make some quick guides for paintings. What were they thinking??

Well, that's just the problem - they weren't thinking. This clearly illustrates the disconnect between Adobe's high-and-mighty developers sitting in their cubicles, and its user base. There is no dialogue, no feedback. They think they know better than the millions of users they serve. They publish random upgrades (or, in this case, downgrade), force it upon us through their subscription model, and that's basically it - doors closed. There is no discussion, feedback, none of the sort. Even the process of reporting a bug is a maze of links, one going to another, to another, and in the end you end up in the user forum. Nothing says that a company doesn't give 2 cents about its users than this type of delegative customer support. Go and get lost in our user forums. We know best. Here is the latest version, auto-update, and be ready to have your credit card billed for another year of subscription.

Chiming in with another voice here against this crap decision.
I work strictly in pixel/raster for web and HUD work within a niche workflow need. This is a needless complication into my work. Seriously adobe, you need to reverse this. This was a seriously DUMB decision.

This creates a secondary issue too.

I use the Shift-U shortcut to rotate through Rectangle->Rounded Rectangle->...->Line->Shape->Rectangle etc.

If I'm drawing a Rounded Rectangle (in Pixels mode), then want to draw a Rectangle I'll Shift-U U U U U U until I get there. Thanks to this amazing new feature, Photoshop now puts me into Shape mode as it goes past the Line tool, so my workflow is now "Shift- U U U U U U U, move hand to mouse, navigate to tiny little dropdown up the corner of the screen, choose Pixels, continue as before".

It's pretty impressive to add a new "feature" that not only takes away something that a heap of people use, but also screws with people who don't even use that tool...

Oh, good, because we sometimes need triangles, and the polygon tool didn't already exist!

As another little "eff you" to the userbase, notice that we don't have any way to edit these posts after we make them? Any decent community board does, of course. But this isn't one of those. Or am I missing how to do it? The little "...More" link is empty. Just opens a blank line, as if someone started building a context menu and then forgot to write the control to populate it.

I was wrong the line tool can not do something the pen tool can not do. That is connect two closet path with a line path. It just look like it can. When you have the line tool have ad arrowed the line path coming out the arrowhead is actually not a line path its part of the closed path with 0 area it can be edited to have space. a line path can not. So Arrowhead shape layer can be edited to have a line with weight between them or a Single arrowhead have a second point or the point edited to a line.

I don't understand what all these arrowhead posts have to do with this thread, though? We're talking about the pixel mode in the linetool, not arrowheads or whether or not it is possible to draw lines. The whole point is that the pixel mode is gone, which makes it much more cumbersome to draw lines. It's still possible to get the same results, but in a pretty much useless way for most illustrators and concept artists as the current available tools completely disrupt workflow

They are line tool layers. It would be different story if the line tool could make line shape pattern fill, gradient fill, and color fill shape layers. The tool has a problem besides the pixel option.

How is intentionally degrading a tool and sabotaging the workflow of a significantly large number of your user base considered a feature and the correct answer? What was previously one step is now multiple steps. Adobe has reduce productivity by multiple factors now.

Professional cocnept artist here and this is a terrible mistake that I've updated Photoshop hoping for improved quality. Now I have to revert back. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if companies like infinite painter surpass you with their super awesome tools ( perspective tools, shape recognition) that speed up my workflow.

JemShaw

No, just no. This is not the "correct" answer, it's an over-complex work-around to get past a crashingly stupid development decision. How does removing a perfectly simple and convenient feature constitute progress? You've already messed up the Custom Shape and Gradient tools; do you plan on working through the entire toolbar to eliminate as many efficiencies as possible? Please Adobe, get a grip and listen to the people who pay your wages!
