Spent over 45 minutes finding out how to do a dashed line, and it took 5 seconds of your video to figure it out! Thanks man!

You've explained this very well.
Unfortunately my Photoshop program looks very different and the Fill option to make the dotted line is not in the above balk. Do you have any idea where I could find it anywhere else?

[@augustapisanu]

[@Foxtrot-Nation]

This was very helpful, this should come in handy for whenever I want to make speech bubbles with dotted outlines for my comics whenever I decide to show a character whispering.

[@GraphicWorkers]

Yeah good idea for the implementation

[@jagansanth1885]

Perfect to learn.

[@Bm-lu8en]

When I use the "line" tool, it isn't a thin rectangle as is shown in this video. I tried playing with the width and height options but that didn't change anything about the line. So I'll have to find another tutorial.

[@gothmaniow]

[@GraphicWorkers]

You can use the pen tool instead. Check the video at 02:50 seconds.

[@TheFujiwuji]

@@GraphicWorkers Hi, I tried the pen tool, but it's very thin... not like the rectangle shape shown in the video, and I couldn't get it to fatten.

[@GraphicWorkers]

@@TheFujiwuji send me a few screenshots of what you are trying and what is happening on [e-mail].
I'll mark the options from which you can get it corrected.

The area under the curve filled with a color when I try it

[@GraphicWorkers]

Thats because you would be using fill colour, turn fill colour off and use stroke colour only.

[@juandavidperdomocollazos4208]

good man

[@GraphicWorkers]

Glad I could help !!

[@barbarian1559]

there is no line tool in my side bar, i cant find it please help

[@GraphicWorkers]

There must be ! It comes under the shapes layer tool. The best way still would be using the pen tool, So go with it if
you still can't find the line tool. :)

[@THUNGUNS]

if you see a box or star or ellipse....hold-click on it and a menu will show up. (the line tool should be there).

[@THUNGUNS]

you can also do this: window>workspace>select 'graphic and web"

[@MTJ_Africa]

This is dashed line not a dotted line. How to do I create the dots instead of the dash.

[@Freeman1776]

Tried to make the curved lines, but you went TOO FAST, and I cannot replicate your method. Why do you have to go so FAST?????

[@THUNGUNS]

Pen tool:
left click+drag for curves.
left click only for straight.
many photoshop and illustrator professionals go faster.

[@jzocchio]

thank you for the tutorial, but i still hate this tool so much
