JMF,

A little more information would bring you better and more helpful answers.

I’ll offer a couple suggestions that I hope will help.

You can draw a straight line utilizing any brush set to the desired thickness.

For example, choose a brush and color of choice. Hold down the shift key while "drawing" the line and it will make it be straight.

There is also the line tool in the custom shape palette.

HTH,

Patty

I feel really stupid asking this question, but I can’t seem to figure out how to do it. I just want to draw a line, maybe in red, from one photo to another that appears on the same psd file, i.e. I’ve got multiple photos all appearing on the same page and I want to draw a line from one to another.
It sounds straight-forward enough, but none of the tools I’ve tried will work for this, other than some of the freeform choices, which isn’t what I want.
I’m just looking for a straight line I can draw on there that will come out when I print it. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks.
J.

Use the pen tool to draw 2 points then stroke the path.

Is that line patented or can anyone use it?

Hey John–how do you know that Alpha was referring to your method of drawing a line and not the two I suggested?? Personally, I prefer the loud roar of the "virtual" applause vs. the "virtual" throwing of money!

Alas, I think we have once again experienced the famous "photoshop menage a trois"–there are at least three ways to do everything in photoshop. It’s fun,isn’t it!

What appears to have been an arrogant assumption on my part, seemed like a logical conclusion at the time…<g>

MY solution is clearly brimming with elegance!
