Select new & mask tool - draw straight line with subtractive brush?

Thisblog:

To select it fast (W), Lasso (L) and brush (B), shift toggle tools subtract from selection to add to the selection

...

Click shift-click to paint a straight line between the first and subsequent

I have the selected brush, and he is set to subtract. I want to draw a straight line across topics I want to subtract. But I can't use shift to draw a straight line, as shift changes the subtractive brush in an addendum.

.. .this who am I missing?

I don't think you're missing something really, as you say press 'shift' to activate the version "+" of the Brush tool and so you will always get an addition to your selection if SHIFT-click between two points to give a straight line. If you really want to avoid using press SHIFT-click on the button 'invert' and then shift - click, when finished press "reverse" yet once and you should have what you want.

  • How can I draw a straight line with a brush?

    I know that the pencil tool can draw a straight line with anchor points. Is there a setting for the pencil tool which can mimic a brush of 30 points, low hardness (from left to right) at an angle of 80 degrees, or is it possible to make a straight line with the Brush tool using a mouse?photoshop help.jpeg

    I know that this picture is a little blurry. what I want to do is to replace the 2 lines of white angles with point 30 brush effect 230 pixels wide. the project on the left side of the photo is a canvas 4 ' 2 ft. any ideas? Help, please.

    Straight lines are simple: the brush, click where you want the starting line (you will paint one place) then hold down the SHIFT key and click where you want the line to end. Photoshop will draw a straight line between your departure and arrival.

    In addition, for even more control, you can use the pen tool to create a path, then just STROKE the path with the brush.

  • Draw straight lines with Photoshop and the Wacom Tablet pen?

    Hello
    I was just wondering how to draw straight lines using pen Wacom Intuos and Photoshop. I was hoping there was an a little sovereign tool or something that will help you with it but can not understand. Thank you ahead for your help with this.

    Same as with a mouse. Click once on one end of the line the shift click on the other end of the line.

  • How to specify a length of straight line with the Brush tool

    Hello

    I want to draw a few straight lines that have the same look as the paint brush tool. that is the ends of the lines have rounded ends.

    The thing is, I want to be able to specify the length of these lines.

    (1) can I do this with the paint brush tool? So be specific with the length of the line, for example that I can specify in some fields or something like that?

    (2) otherwise, I use the online tool to look the same as a line of paint brush?

    David.

    Hi David.

    Option 2:

    Select the line Segment tool (shortcut "------"). Click the origin. The dialog box should open. Specify the length. Apply a line with round cap. Adjust the width of the line and color to your liking.

    I hope this helps.

    Peace,

  • Shift-click to create straight lines with the Brush tool is no longer works in 2015 CC

    Hello!

    I feel a maddening thing I can't explain, maybe a bug or a dark environment?

    If I use the pencil tool, I can click on the same spot on the canvas, then releases, then hold SHIFT key and click in another location on the canvas to create a straight line between the two points. This is expected behavior, and Photoshop has done this for years, as long as I can remember.

    Until recently, the same has worked with the Brush tool. Since the upgrade to 2015 CC, however, shift-click on demand exactly as if I was clicking simply - he draws another full brush, but without a straight line connecting the two clicks. Weird.


    Everyone knows the same behavior? (CC and Yosemite are completely up to date.)


    Best,

    Jason

  • Select new / mask locked

    I just upgraded to Photoshop 2015.5 and spin on my MacBook Pro.   When I try to use the Select new & mask tool, whenever I try to make a selection with the magic wand my system hangs and I have to force quit and then restart Photoshop.  I tried to reset the tool and it does not seem to improve.  Anyone having the same problem and found how to fix this on a Mac?  I've seen a solution for Windows that indicates that you have deleted the file preferences and restart Photoshop, and the new file will be created that can solve the problem.  I tried to find a preference on my Mac file and fails.

    Hi b3photo. On a mac, launch Photoshop and before that don't appear the start screen, press Option + command + shift and a window should open asking you if you want to reset, say Yes. Also check your video card drivers and make sure you have the most recent available. I'm on windows, so I can't help you there!

  • How to draw a line (with the line segment tool) then draw another line, from those previous anchor point. When I try immediately draw another line on the other anchor lines it try to turn instead.

    I'm following a course of basic fundamental illustrator on Lynda. The video of "draw straight lines" is troubling me. They draw a line with the line segment and then draw another line coming out the anchor point at an angle.

    Here's where it is troubling me - when I try to drag a line to the anchor point trying to transform the first line, I drew. (the line cursor turns into a selection tool) I can't draw another line connecting the first.

    Advice would be great because it's driving crazy me.

    See you soon,.
    Kyle

    Yes, it is irritating. You must clear the previous line first. If you want to make sure that both ends are perfectly aligned, start by turning on the guides. If you want two lines to be part of the same way, you should use the tool pen instead.

  • New path-layers of all lines with the tool pen?

    Hello! I am currently using Illustrator CS6 as a test version, and when I use the tool pen to make a beaver (school work), it all end in a single layer. I want to have a new layer-path of each line with the pen tool, so I can remove rows from the layer panel too. For the moment, it's a layer that has a picture of a beaver, and I can't see the individual lines that I drew. When I used CS5 recently I had no such problem.

    There is a setting that I can change or does have something to do with the news of CS6?

    If you want to see a 'sex' for each object changes the display of the layer panel by choosing Options from the Panel menu in the layer panel. In the lower part of the Panel options window, make sure that groups and objects are both checked. You will then see a 'sex' for each object.

    I quote 'sex' here because technically they aren't the layers. They resemble layers and are in the layer panel, but they do not exactly allow options that allow actual layers. You can select and move objects in the Panel this way however.

  • How to make a straight line with the Quick Selection tool?

    Hi, I'm experimenting with Photoshop CS6 and wanted to autofocus on poles and the alley only, everything is blurry (the sky, cars, trees and higher levels). The image shows a better idea of what I mean. I am currently using the Selection tool quick to fill between the poles, then using fuzzy area, but is at - it a faster and more efficient way to do this? In addition, the quick selection tool is not perfect and shows jagged - like of the spots along the edges of the poles. I thought maybe it's posible to right field line as a box between poles and blurred in this way?WP_20130806_12_45_41_Pro[1].jpg

    You would like to use the Polygonal Lasso tool to create your form of selection. Once you use blur filters, this will create a cutting edge on the mask. Select the mask in the layers panel and then apply a Gaussian blur to the mask to smooth the edge. (or use refine edge)

  • Drawing tool is only draw straight lines

    Now when I use one of the free form of drawing tools they Don only in a straight line. The ruler tool is not lit. Its the strangest thing. Has anyone seen this?

    Thank you

    Andy

    Hi Charles,

    You can contact me through feedback in-app? (Press the logo to draw and give us your comments) I would like to get you set up with a pre-release version of the draw which I believe will solve the problem for you.

  • My pen tool will not draw straight lines

    When I click on the tool pen cursor shows the pen tool with the 'x '.  When I click to create the first point, nothing happens.  If I click and drag it will create a point, but I don't want the curves.  I want a straight line.

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    I'm on OSX Yosemite 10.10.3

    The problem was the Google Chrome browser!  As soon as I left my pen tool Chrome has started working again.  Didn't even need to restart Fireworks.  I wonder if this is a conflict with one of my plugins/Add-ons.  More likely.

    Updated - I reduce it to a specific to Google Chrome extension.  It was 'Google Play Music'

  • Brush in a straight line with the decrease in pressure

    Just past the CC on Mac 10.11 CS6. I used to draw highlights on products using my mouse and the Brush tool. C.; I think I picked a px brush 9 with 50% hardness, clicked then moved the cursor all holding the SHIFT key and click New. I could then draw a straight line, and I think I've adjusted the flow to get the color to start at 100% and cone of 0%.

    I'm now trying to figure out how to accomplish the same thing in CC, but I'm having a hard time to understand.

    Again, it is with a mouse, not a tablet.

    Did had perhaps put opacity to flow to Fade?

  • draw a line with climb to a higher level

    I'm trying to create what should be a simple line about 12 points in width that begins also horizontal and then get in a curve smooth a level about 1 "above, then continies as a straight line again (the shot of the whole image must be constant.) I need a drop shadow in a different color to follow the outline of the bottom of the line. I can't seem to get a transition smoothly from betrween the two straight lines. I'd appreciate any help. Sorry if this is a stupid question.

    You mean like this?

    Hold the SHIFT key when you drag the pen tool.
