Hey,
This is my first time messing around with Photoshop and whenever I try to press shift and draw a straight line with my brush tool, it ends up automatically connecting to the previous line. How do I disable this function?

Double-click the Brush tool in the tools panel and change the options for the tool.

Hey presssing "B" (default hotkey for brush) actually works, thanks

Don't have the Shift key pressed when you start drawing - you need to mouse down first, THEN press Shift, and start drawing. Holding Shift while clicking the mouse draws a line from the last drawn point to the current one (as you've noticed).

What if you're using a drawing tablet?

Same for a tablet as a mouse. Put down a starting point then shift tap, or whatever, to create the line.

You do realize that you could very easily mess up the line at the start, right? Silly answer
