blackxacto Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) Is there a line tool in AP? All I want to do is draw/paint a straight line from one point to another. Maybe extend the line as needed? Edited April 28, 2018 by blackxacto clarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toltec Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 If you click with the brush tool, then press down shift and click elsewhere, it draws a straight line between the two points, If you hold down shift, it keeps drawing straight lines between the points, like a polygon tool. Or you could use the Pen tool to draw a path and rasterise it afterwards, With the Pen tool, you have a choice of drawing modes, and the added benefit that you can snap the line to the grid and can edit the path later (until you rasterise it).

A further added extra benefit of doing it with the pen tool is that once you've drawn your path, you can duplicate its Curves layer and hide the duplicate, before rasterising the original. Then you can always go back and change the line/path later if you want to. Quote Affinity Photo 2.0.3, Affinity Designer 2.0.3, Affinity Publisher 2.0.3, Mac OSX 13, 2018 MacBook Pro 15" Intel.
