    Hi Brenden. I have a question regarding the drawing a curved line with line tool. Your control box is slightly different from mine (Ps 2020). In my control settings the thickness of the line is adjusted by the "weight", just located next to the Align Edges thick box. And when I draw a straight line and select by Command-T and then warp tool, it makes a shape, not a curved line. Could you make it clear for me?

    Nice video, pretty useful.
    What I would like to know is whether it's possible to create non-pixelated lines in Photoshop. If so, how do I do it? I was told that you're going to need to have graphics card built-in your computer to make that happen. The thing is that I only have a laptop is the graphics card cannot be built-in. If it's not possible to create non-pixelated lines without graphics card, I'll be okay with that too. You see, I'm practicing digital drawing because up until now, I've been doing traditional artworks.

    Great presentation. I saw that your video was 12 minutes long and I almost didn't watch it. I wanted something simple so that I could just draw a simple line knowing that I was using the right tool, but the "3 Best Tools" snagged me. I'm so glad I watched your video. It was incredibly helpful. Your presentation was straightforward, easy to follow, and efficient. Well done! Thanks for sharing the knowledge!

  • @MateuszKrol-cn6tg
    @MateuszKrol-cn6tg 6 місяців тому +1

    Nope. It doesn't work for me. The line tool is actually a very thin rectangle, so when I add dashes, they go from both sides and they overwrite. It looks like have a two dashed lines that never match. Somehow, it works perfectly in this video, so probably this is some photoshop update.
