I am unable to use the line tool.I am using photoshop 7.It was working last 2 years ago on the computer.But now when ever pressing on line tool from the tools box (where pen pencil paint bucket etc are) is displaying a arrow head 10 times as large with a tail behind it?
I have been away from PhotoShop for awhile and have not used CS3 for over a year. When I try to use the clone tool a pop up tells me unable to use tool due to a program error. How can I fix?
I can choose any tool either by menu or by shortcut, but only the hand icon remains visible and active. Reopen Photoshop and rebooting mac doesn't work, only solution I have found is: Repair Disk Permissions.
How can I draw a straight line without that protractor shaped dotted line following my cursor making it lag and also not snap correctly to the next line? Also, I have noticed that I can't set my user interface to auto cad classic settings. There seems to be no option for it in workspace settings.
I found out that you can't change line color in the line nova because a fix to prevent white on white or something like that. Is there another way to change the line color.
I want to erase the watermark and x mark from a istock image for comping purposes. What is the easiest/fastest way to do this? Clone Stamp/patch tool? If stamp tool, how do you get the tool to delete the x line in a straight line. Mine always copys pixels next to it.
1. if i draw a line using the line tool.. can i curve it to say 40 degrees like i can with the text function?
2. So ya that one was easy.. hows bout when i want to cut something out ACCURATELY, the pen function, right? (according to a friend)when i make all those little boxes and select the area i want to cut, all that gets copied are the outer lines, which i presume is what ive just drawn.. how do i cut the area inside this?
3. and finally maybe a slightly less easy one- In Paint, when you cut out an object and paste it, you can select for the white of the image to become transparent so you can paste over what you have already.. is thee a feature in PS for this?
I'm trying to use the line tool to draw a colored line, I draw the line via Line tool, it appears in grey, I right click>stroke path and select Pencil > OK, the line is still grey and not the foreground color. If I do the same with a Rectangle Tool, it works fine and darws me a nice colored rectangle. What am I doing wrong? This is driving me nuts...!!
I should be able to apply an effect to a line that has been made with the line tool. Why is this not working?I thought that maybe I might have disabled Effects somehow, but I can't think of anything.
I would like to add the effect of hand stitched thread around some of my designs. The line tool can change a line to dashes but this is a bit too uniform for hand stitching. I have seen a tutorial on doing this in Photoshop where a brush is made with a few small different length strokes. this is then spaced out and made to follow a path. how to create a hand stitch effect using X5 that looks like natural hand stitching...
I'm using GIMP 2.6.11. When I use the line tool and left click + shift to snap a line from point to point, there's no preview line that shows exactly where the line is going to be drawn. In former version(s) of GIMP, I could clearly see where the line was going to be placed because of this feature. I miss it because when doing technical drawings precision and exact angles are needed. Is this feature not included with GIMP 2.6.11? How I can get this tool to work like it used to?
I'm using CS2 and have the following issue. I've scanned some line art (white paper, black ink) into the computer and opened it up in PS. Some of the larger areas of black were spotty, so I went over them using PS black.
Many layers above the background, I'm unable to mark anything over the initial line art. I'd like to add dots of white (stars in space) and I want to have a narrow border of green, with black on both sides. I am working in the top layer, and none are locked.
Opened the myFile.psd file to continue edits from yesterday.
All layers are still visible, but when I attempt to use the History Brush Tool to continue editing the layer to paint over the image, nothing happens. It all was working yesterday.
Since I am new to Photoshop I was unsure if there was some default setting that needs to be changed.
I select the Line tool from the tool box, it won't paint a line, it paints an arrow!
When I select Line Tool the arrow is the default
I don't what happened, but the freaking arrow took over my line. I can't even draw a strait line anymore! I don't know how! If I select the box "Current Tool Only" then ONLY the arrow thing is available.
how to use Photoshop CS, and I have not seen anything regarding the line tool or what it does. I am not trying to do anything specifically, I just want to find out why I get a funky arrowhead shaped thing instead of a line when I try to use it.
I try to move text in a layer with the move tool. I highlight the text layer, select the move tool, and move the tool to the text. As soon as I click on the layer with my mouse, the highlight moves to an image layer below the text layer. I can move the text using the arrow keys, but that takes forever.
I am using HP Pavilion g series, Vista window.Using photoshop CS3. Biggest problem i facing that when i type something and i want to go to next line and i press button ENTER. It wont go to next line That means i couldnt write in kind of paragraph. For each line i have to set new layer.
I'm running 13.0.1 right now and am stymied by the line tool UX. The problem stems from the fact that although you feel you are drawing a line, you are actually drawing a box.
Follow these steps running 13.0.1 x64:
Create a new docSelect the Vector Line toolType in a Stroke width (eg: 20px)Draw your lineNotice that the line is still 1px weight.
Of course, after much fiddling around you realize that you need to set the FILL to your stroke colour, your Stroke to NONE and then specify the WEIGHT over in the far right of the control bar.
This really isn't the right UX for drawing lines, particularly if you're coming from any other vector drawing environment.
Some how I have made it so the LINE TOOL is a Thin ARROW. I have no idea how I did it and I really need this reset to how it should be.
I cannot even understand HOW I could have made the Line Tool anything other than the Line as it's the Custom styles where you can select what Custom sytle cursor to use.
