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?

In Photoshop 22.3.0 this issue appears to be rectified. (But the Pen Tool seems to be afflicted with other issues …)

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

That the Pen Tool doesn’t work for »Pixels« seems perfectly reasonable. 

When creating a Reactangle or Ellipse that is a finite process, the Pen Tool is intended to create Paths with varying numbers of PathPoints so the process is not as clearly »contained«.
