The Line Tool in Photoshop CS6 is radically different from that in PSCS5.  I have used Photoshop almost daily for years, yet I haven't been able to figure this out.  Any help out there?

Looks good, but when I click on the thing on the right, all I get is a box that says "rubber band". I ended up using Graphic
Converter to get the arrow. Still would like to know how to do it in Photoshop CS6 though.

Bob,

The rubber band is for the Pen tool. You should use the Line tool.

Is there any way to angle it so that the arrow doesn't only go side to side?

Hi Taylor

I am not sure what you mean by 'angle it'?

You know that you can choose either, both, or none in the line Options?

And the size and shape with the other paramters?
