Can't find my arrowheads that I had configured for the Line tool

Sep 6, 2012 2:33 PM

Tags: #photoshop #line #arrow #cs5+ #arrowheads

Yes, I know where the options to select the arrowheads are (ex: start/end, concavity...etc). But when I create my line, none of the arrowheads are displayed. Not sure what the problem is? Is there an option I may have inadvertently selected which may have turned these off? I am using in Windows Photoshop 5.5. I've used them on this desktop before, again - not sure what's going on here.

 

Also, is there an option to add arrowheads automagically to the Pen tool in photoshop?

 

Many thanks -

    Some tool only work in 8 bit RGB mode.  So check Image/mode to see what you have.

    Try resetting the line tool by right clicking on the line icon and choosing reset tool:

    And check that the color in the tool options bar is not the same as the document color.

    If that doesn't help could you post a screenshot?

     

    Your talking about photoshop cs5 and not the old photoshop 5.5?

     

    In case it is photoshop 5.5 reset the line tool under (window>options) Line Options

    Also check that the foreground color in the toolbox is not the same color as the document.

    Thanks guys, but I figured it out. My width and length were only set at "50" for whatever reason, not sure why? When I set it to "600" each, the arrows reappeared. Thanks for the replies. I'm so used to Fireworks, just wrapping my head around Photoshop.

    It's reasonable that the numbers should be large, but if you didn't change them it's worrisome that the values were changed.
