Changing Thickness of Lines Created with Rectangle Tool in CS2?

I am trying to change the thickness of the lines for a rectangle drawn using the Rectangle Tool in Photoshop CS2.
I can not figure out how to change the thickness of the lines of the four sides of the rectangle before I draw the rectangle using the Rectangle Tool or after the Rectangle has been drawn. The same problem seems to occur when using the Polygon Tool, Ellispse Tool, etc.
I can transform the rectangle to make it bigger or smaller, etc. but it seems like I should be able to vary the thickness of the lines for a rectangle.
Is this task possible in Photoshop?  It's simple in Illustrator - this seems like it should be a pretty simple task in P-shop.  I have looked on Google and in Help for P-shop CS2 for an answer but can not locate a solution.  Am I not seeing something really obvious?
Any help is greatly appeciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I am making a path.  That said, in Photoshop CS2 I don't see where I can select a brush size once I have selected the Rectangle Tool to increase the desired thickness or weight of the path for that rectangle.  Since I am creating a path why would I use/select a brush size?  I have attached a screen shot which shows what I am seeing when I select the Rectangle Tool and attempt to change the thickness of the path. The attached image aslo shows what I am trying to accomplish.  I don't see where I can select the weight or thickness - even when I right-click with the mouse, etc.  Even if I try to change the Style from the Option bar it seems overly complex for such a simple task.
When using the Line Tool in Photoshop CS2 you do have an option to change the line thickness or weight but when I click on the Rectangle Tool that option for changing the the line thickness or weight disappears.
I realize P-shop CS2 isn't specically designed for drawing, like Illustrator, but what I am trying seems simple.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time!

  • Problem rotating rectangle (selecting corners) after creating with rectangle tool in illustrator

    I'm using the latest CC version of Illustrator. When I draw a rectangle using the rectangle tool, I no longer seem to be able to select the corners to resize the rectangle nor does the cursor turn to a rotate icon when I put the mouse just outside the corner. I know that Ai CC treats rectangles differently now, with the live rectangles and the rounded corner options, and the transform box opening automatically. What I'm wondering, and hoping isn't the case, is whether this is this at the expense of being able to go right in and resize using the just the mouse? I know that there is the  "Object > Shape > Expand" option, but having to do that for every time I draw a rectangle is time-consuming and adds and extra step that was unnecessary before. I saw a tutorial on Lynda where the instructor drew a live rectangle in CC AND was still able to resize it by grabbing the corner "handle". Anyone know if this is just a setting I need to turn on or something similarly easy, or is it a case of Adobe inadvertently making the workflow longer when trying to make it easier? And yes, I have "show bounding box" selected under VIEW.

    MOD indi-go girl,
    I am afraid you have come across the Live Rectangle bug which is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks) or 10.10 (Yosemite). Hopefully, the bug will be fixed soon.
    So a switch to Mavericks or Yosemite with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now.
    To get round it in each case, it is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles, or to Pathfinder>Unite, or to use the Scale Tool or the Free Transform Tool.
    A more permanent way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

  • How to change SelectionColor in TLFTextFielfd created with new TLFTextField(); syntax?

    How to change SelectionColor in TLFTextFielfd created with var txtTest:TLFTextFielfd = new TLFTextFielfd(); syntax ?

    You have posted in the AS1/2 forum.  If you are using a TLFTextField, it can only be used with AS3.  You might need to repost in the AS3 forum if you truly intend to use the TLFTextField.  As far as I can see there is no SelectionColor (or selectionColor) property for the TLFTextField.
    Also, in every instance of the word you have mis-spelled it...
    "TLFTextFielfd" should be "TLFTextField"

  • Issues with Rectangle tool

    Hello,
    I am having an issue. I have created three pie chart grahics with some text and boxes. Everything was created in Muse, except for the three piecharts, which are PNGs. I created a colored box (using the rectangle tool) and placed it behind the content. When I view as a preview (as well as preview in browser), two of the graphics look fine but the first one, is a couple of pixles shorter in height. I am attaching a screen shot of the MUSE workspace and the preview screen shot for comparrison. Each on of the green rectangle "containers" should be 600 px in height, but when I inspect the element in the broswer, the first "container"'s height is 594px and the other two "containers" heights are 599px each. How is it possible for the first "container" to lose 6px in height and the other two to lose a px each in height?
    Can someone please help me with this? As a designer with little coding knowlege, I really love the potential of MUSE, but it's these little "quirks" that eat of my time and really aren't cost effective to my project budgets and timelines.

  • Content created with v18 tools, crashed the v19 Content Viewer

    Hi,
    We've been working on a publication using v18 of the DPS tools in InDesign, this works perfectly when viewed with the v18 Adobe Conent Viewer.
    Our client has downloaded the Content Viewer to see the work we have done so far, however on viewing certain articles the viewer crashes.
    I have installed v19 onto one of our iPads and confirmed that this problem occurs.
    I have also created a few test folios, with individual articles and the viewer does not have any problem viewing them, however when I put multiple articles into the same viewer, it starts to crash again.
    I've uploaded using both the v18 and v19 versions of the folio builder, and get the same results.
    I find it unbelieveable that the Content Viewer does not seem to be backwards compatible with folios created with previous versions of the tools. Is there a way to fix this?
    Any insight would be appreciated, my client is getting understandably frustrated.
    Thanks
    Ryan

    Can you try to re-bundle the content? (perhaps on v19 tools?)
    You could post the source files and crash logs to Adobe to see if they can't patch the issue in the v19 viewer. Even if they did, however, it would require a viewer update.

    Did you ever find a reason for this error?

    Hi Dakota Piper,
    I don't think theres any problem in ur table.
    I think u have gone wrong in ur formatting.
    u can try the following...
    1)  try to remove all the blank spaces, manually.
    2) try to create right paragraph formats. paragraph formats will give a proper look, font, spaces & tabs to ur paragraph or to the text to which u assign that paragraph format.
    assign the same paragraph format to all the lines.
    3) if already the lines have some paragraph formats then check their line spacings.
    line spacing is an attribute in paragraph format, where u can mention the amount of space between 2 lines called.
    it is possible that the 1st 3 lines have been assigned the paragraph format with 0.5 LN line spacing
    and next with 1.00 line spacing...so the rest of the lines appear as if theres a blank line between them
    like this :
    line 1
    line 2
    line 3
    line 4
    line 5
    please try doing this...hopefully it should help u. it definitely seems to be some minor problem, which maybe is getting ingored by us. check every line properly.
    Note: since i'm not infront of SAP window now, so not very sure...but in sap scripts we have this option in menu
    GOTO -> LIST DISPLAY   in this, the form is seen in list format...it clearly shows whether u have a blank line inbetween or no. thats the best format to check in.
    not much sure abt smartforms, but please check.
    regards,

  • How to change/delete iCloud address, created with typo the first time

    How can I change or delete this, I had a typo when creating this originally and am unable to find a solution.  I understand that an alias can be created, but I would rather just start over.
    I do not use the @me account as a primary apple account, I have a comcast account for that.  The reason this came up is when I wanted to sync notes with iCould, it forced me to create this, then I had a type and was unable to change it since then.

    Unfortunately, you cannot change your .me address once you have created it. The only thing that you can do is use an alias, or create a new Apple ID using the .me address of your choice.

  • How to Extrude a path created with Pen Tool

    Hi All
    I have created a path with the pen tool (the brown part), and now I want to extrude it, but it extrudes the whole containing block (See image below)
    Now I have tried everything, from grouping to compound paths etc, but nothing works.
    How do I extrude my path?
    Thank you

    ...and Texturized it AFTER the extrusion....
    Applied a Grain Texture after the extrusion.
    For clarity:
    Always pay attention to the Appearance palette. The order of the items in the Appearance stack reflects the order in which they are applied.
    A so-called "live effect" (of which both 3D Effect and Grain Texturizer are examples) is an operation which is automatically re-applied after you make an edit to the object to which it is applied. The effects are applied in the order in which they appear in the Appearance stack, from top to bottom.
    1. Ellipse Tool: Draw an ellipse. Leave it selected.
    2. Apply 3D Effect.
    3. Apply Texturize Effect.
    Look at the Appearance palette. 3D Effect is listed above Texturizer, and the whole 3D rendering is texturized.
    4. Appearance palette: Drag 3D Effect to below Texurizer. The unwanted extrusion of the entire texture image appears.

  • Line drawn with Pencil Tool appears to fade in and out

    My Nme is Allen Togwell.Case No: 0183721415. Your chat line guy said I needed a graphic card to solve my problem for my CS6. He gave me a link but disconnected before I could use it. Can you help me with what type of graphic card I need. I am 75 yrs of age and not very com literate.
    Thanks

    Hi Allen,
    I looked up that case number and watched a recording of you working with the agent and am not convinced that what you are seeing was necessarily because of the graphics card.
    This is my interpretation and thoughts around what you were seeing. I noticed that you were working on an image that took up a fair amount of the screen when viewed at 16.7% zoom. This means it was a pretty large image. Next, I noticed you were using the pencil tool with a tip that was 4 pixels.
    I think the combination of these two things was the reason the pencil tool was appearing choppy or to fade in and out when drawing. This occurs because you are using such a small size and are zoomed out so much that the lines are barely visible. When you zoom out the program resamples the appearance. This resampling can cause detail to be lost and the appearance to vary depending on what zoom level is used, 16.7% is particularly bad with fine details.
    I think there would be two solutions, use a different zoom level to get a better view or use a pencil with a larger size.
    I recorded this video for you as an example
    http://screencast.com/t/e9dhiHKoKbv
    I suspect the list that the agent was suggesting for video cards was the one at the bottom of this document

  • Use Mac to make changes to iWeb Sites created with MacBookPro

    I created two web sites on my MacBook Pro and would like to do additional work on them using my Mac desktop. The sites are saved on my MobileMe account. I launch iWeb on the Mac desktop and can't see the other Sites. How can I work on these with both computers?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You will need to copy the Domain.sites2 file from the your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on your MBP to the same folder on your Mac desktop. If you don't have such a folder on the desktop Mac just create it.
    If you plan on moving between computers frequently for managing the sites put the domain file on a flash drive formatted for OS X Extended (journaled) and open the file on that.
    Or you can try the method described in this online MacWorld article Managing an iWeb site from multiple Macs
    Be sure to read the warnings in the linked page from the article.

  • Fill drawing created with pen tool

    How do you do this? I use my pen tool to draw out a shape,
    and I close it's path, but I can only control the stroke. Surely
    there's a way to fill that space in right? What am I missing? If
    drawings made by the pen tool cannot be filled, that is definitely
    something Flash developers need to look at improving in CS4.

    OK nevermind. just like always, it only works until after I
    post.

  • Totally frustrated. Need help with type tool in CS2.

    Must start by admitting I'm embarrassed to have to even find myself asking this question. . . But after working with PageMaker since Ver. 2.0 in the early '80s, finally was forced to switch to CS2 when I had to replace my Mac/Intel computer 3 (or was it 4 years ago?). Did so fighting and cursing all the way, and I'm still having trouble typing in Photoshop . . . not just today, but EVERY TIME I sit down to work on a project.
    Most are brochures and display ads, and though friends and colleagues insist my real problem is that I should be setting them up in InDesign, I'm convinced it's easier to work on graphics and text simultaneously in Photoshop.
    My problem is in grabbing text blocks in order to edit them. Occasionally I'm able to highlight the text I need, but usually I keep getting new type layers instead. I know it should not be this difficult, but as soon as I select the text with the cursor, I get a new, empty text box.It doesn't seem to matter if I am in the layers or edit mode.
    I may not be the most technically advanced Adobe user, but I'm not stupid. What the heck am I doing wrong? Can someone please steer me right?

    Try this on for size:
    Type Tool Tips for Photoshop
    Most folks understand how to create text in Photoshop. You select the Type Tool from the Toolbox, or you tap the "T" key on your keyboard. Then, in the Character Palette you set the attributes for font, color, size, etc. A simple click in your document window will mark the spot where you may begin typing unbounded "point" text. Or, you click and drag in your document window to create a paragraph text box. Type out your text, then tap your "Enter" key to commit the text to its new layer.
    It's pretty straightforward, and Photoshop offers a decent set of tools to adjust how your text looks. One hitch that long-timers will tell you about, though: It's generally accepted that Photoshop isn't the best application to be using if you have to have to create a lot of text because it doesn't have all of the adjustment functions necessary to produce large amounts of professional-quality text. Well, the real world being what it is, sometimes, and for some users, Photoshop is the only application they have to work with; might as well make the best of it, right?
    So, once you have text entered onto a layer in your document, how do you then reselect iteither all of it or just a portion and navigate through it easily? What follows will answer some of those questions.
    Note: The keyboard shortcuts that follow assume you are using a Mac. If you're using Windows, substitute the CTRL key for "Command."
    Double-Click on the boxed 'T' thumbnail on the desired Text Layer in the Layers Palette. This will select and highlight all of the text on that layer.
    Then, if you want, you can use some keyboard shortcuts to move the "Blinking Bar" Type Tool cursor through the text.
    Assuming that your text is enclosed in a click-and-dragged out paragraph text box--When all text is highlighted:
    "Home" key will move cursor to the beginning of first line of text.
    "End" key will move cursor to the end of last line of text.When text is NOT highlighted, but cursor is flashing within the text:
    "Home" key moves cursor to the beginning of the line it's in.
    "End" key moves cursor to the end of the line it's in.
    Command + "Home" moves cursor to beginning of first line of text.
    Command + "End" moves cursor to end of the last line of text.
    Shift + "Home" selects text from cursor position to the beginning of the line it's in.
    Shift + "End" selects text from cursor position to the end of the line it's in.
    Shift + Command + "Home" selects text from cursor position to the beginning of the first line of text.
    Shift + Command + "End" selects text from cursor position to the end of the last line of text.Arrow keys can also be used to select text in various ways. When your cursor is flashing within the text:
    Shift + Right Arrow cumulatively selects text one character or space at a time, from cursor position, progressing toward the end of the text.
    Shift + Left Arrow cumulatively selects text one character or space at a time, from cursor position, progressing toward the beginning of the text.
    ⇒ Add the Command key to select whole words at a time, in either direction.
    Shift + Up Arrow selects text from cursor position back to the next line above the cursor.
    Shift + Down arrow selects text from cursor position forward to the next line below the cursor position.
    ⇒ Add the Command key to select text starting from the cursor position, and accumulating either back to the beginning of the first line, or forward to the end of the last line.
    That covers most of what (or more than) you need to know to navigate through and highlight text. There are some other key combos, and now that you have an idea of what to do, I'll let you experiment and discover them on your own.
    Type Tool Visual Indicators
    Keep a close eye on your Type Tool cursor as you move it near to and away from a hunk of text in your document window.
    When you see it as a plain old "I-Bar" cursor⇒
    ⇒...that means that it's ready to select a position within that text, or to select a hunk of that text.
    When you see a "boxed I-Bar" cursor⇒
    ⇒...that means your cursor is outside of the selectable area for the current text, and is ready for you to click (to start right in typing some unbounded point text) or click-n-drag (to create a paragraph text box). This will, of course, create a new text layer.
    How can you get a visual indicator of where that selectable area for current text begins and ends without blindly moving your Type Tool cursor around the text? Double-Click on the "Boxed-T" thumbnail in the Layers Palette. The text for that layer will become highlighted in your document window. See the black area that surrounds the text? That shows you the actual space occupied by the characters. If your Type Tool cursor is inside this area, it will display the plain "I-Bar" cursor. If it's outside of that area, it will display the "Boxed I-Bar" cursor.
    Want to FORCE Photoshop to create a new Type Layer, even though you're seeing the plain I-Bar cursor?
    Hold the SHIFT key, then either click, or click-n-drag out a paragraph text box.
