Now that I have had my look around PS, I am impressed with everything but one thing. THEY FORGOT THE STRAIGHT LINE TOOL! I can't make my own straight lines, it ends up becoming a picture itself just from one line. Is there a tool that will make a straight line for me so I don't have to waste hours going over it thousands of times to make it perfectly straight?(Inside photoshop, I don't want a seperate program)

I have no idea what you're talking about.
step 1, right-click rectangle tool
step 2, click line tool.
step 3, ?????
step 4, PROFIT

Line tool from paint.

Where you click, make your line, then click again and you have a straight line.

With any brush click once and then click again where you want your line to end while holding shift.

Thanks Corbo, that tool really helps me out a lot.

Hold down the mouse when you click the "Shape" icon. There's a line tool.

I suggest this be moved to creative for any further questions he should have about PS instead of him posting multiple topics and on a wrong section.

Nothing creative about making a line..

That's what I was thinking, and this is the sort of thing you could find in the manual for Photoshop.

If you legally own photoshop, which we all know you don't, then consult your manual. If you don't consult your manual for simple problems then don't make stupid threads about them. Everyday people have much more legitimate problems with the program. Use google, use your brain, but please actually have a real problem.

And I'm not going to close this. I'm going to move it to creative where I hope, in the future, you actually use it for real issues.

You can do it the Kevin way and go through the all the trouble.

1. Use Pen Tool
2. Point A and B.
3. Stroke Path
4. yay. you wasted an extra 5 seconds. have a cookie.

grab brush tool
click at the start point
hold shift and move in the direction you want.

or use the actual line too..

My way is better for curved lines.
