Straighten tool - the line is no longer visible

CC on a Mac. I'm trying to straighten some images using the straighten tool inside the crop tool. I've done this hundreds of times before. However, today, suddenly, it isn't working, because I can't see the line I'm dragging. I get the cross-hairs cursor and the little level icon, and the readout of the angle. But I cannot see the line I've made at all - it is completely invisible. I've restarted PS but that made no change.

That definitely sounds like some kind of video adapter driver issue...which isn't good since Apple has draconinan control of it all.

Hi Marie,

It's working for me with PS 20.0.5 and High Sierra.

Try resetting the Crop tool by right-clicking the icon in the options bar.

If that doesn't work, reset PS preferences. First back up anything such as Actions, Swatches, Brushes, etc. Then Quit. Next press and hold Ctrl+Cmd+Opt+Shift and keep them down as you relaunch PS from the Dock. Choose yes to the alert.

Thanks. Tried everything you suggested and it is still invisible.

Tio solve the immediate image problem, choose the Ruler tool (it is nested with the Eyedropper), draw the line along a tilted element in the image and then, in the Options Bar, click "Straighten Layer".
