Line tool

[Greg12]

Is it possile to draw lines in Photoshop 6 like in Paint.

I'm making lightsabers and i want strait core lines.

If possible, how?

[Greg12]

there's no way I can draw just a strait line like 20 pixels wide

every heard of help files?? Its amazing what one can learn if they actually look for the answers to the questions themselves.

I did look. That's why I'm asking. I searched for lines and "line tool" and nothing came back.

So then I decided to ask.

Well, I assume that you are using the rotoscoping technique to get the lightsaber, and I know that you can do the wide lines in photoshop 7, but I assume you can probably do it in PS6 too. I did it with great results. It just takes forever.

Hi,

There is a line tool in Photoshop 6.
It is located in the same catagory as the rectangle tool ( Not the rectangle marque selection tool at the top), it is located under the Type tool button, and to the right of the pen tool. There should be a button for shapes and one that is Line. If you open up the options of the line button (double-click) or open the options pallete from the top it will give you the ability to change the weight of the line. Or you could always use the pen tool if all else fails.

Later,

Ronnie

Thank you.

I looked again in the help file and didn't find anything.
