What could you actually do about this? Perhaps, put the pen tool just under the brush tool, so it was a bit more evident? Or worse - if you didn't 'clear' from an earlier attempt. you get a vertical all right, with a 'hook' at the top, because you weren't perfectly aligned. then you make an initial point, and try to locate vertically from it, click. first you figure out how the thing 'works', from an initial point Imagine it more as actually happens in trying to do a vertical line. What's below illustrates the frustrating results when trying to use the brush constrain. Well, it's only in reading above that I _found_ the pen tool in Photo, which is indeed what I needed in annotating a screenshot using some lines. There isn't even a Line Tool as a fallback.
Not even being able to draw my 2 point perspective grid is pretty annoying though. It just slipped under the radar when they were making this I guess. Locking to x/y axis is something a freshman could implement. But its not like this is a "premium feature" that only top notch programs would have. I don' just need perfectly straight lines, I need perfectly vertical lines right now, and this is a real setback not having an easy solution to achieve that. Their solution is actually better than photoshops bc it lets you choose which angle to lock to in addition to vert horz just by holding shift. IDK, blackink does this, and its created by a small independent team.
Affinity Photo is more in line with Paintshop Pro, while Photopaint, part of Coreldraw Suite, is more like PhotoShop and Illustrator.
#Drawing straight lines in photoshop with brush pro#
Paintshop Pro does not, but PhotoPaint does. It appears for now just the "high-end" programs are able to do this.
