Where is the line tool in Elements 12? I used this a lot in Elements 7.

I cannot find the line tool in Elements 12. I cannot draw lines with arrows at all. Does anyone know what happened?

Are you using Premiere Elements 12 or Photoshop Elements 12? And, on what computer operating system is the program running?
If you are talking about Premiere Elements 12/12.1, there is a line tool in the Shape section of the program's Titler. No arrows however unless
you try to draw them in with additional maneuvers of the line tool there.
If you are referring to the line tool in Photoshop Elements 12. The line tool is in with a group of tools.
In the screenshot, look to where I have the red arrow pointing in the toolbox. If it is not displaying there as the line tool, then click on it, which brings up the Options Bar for that tools group. Then select line tool in that Options Bar. The line tool options will be displayed in the Option Bar.
In the above screenshot, the custom shape tool was showing originally in the toolbox, with its options in the Options Bar. And, I next clicked on the line tool in the Options
Bar to use change the choice to use it and its options..
Photoshop Elements questions should be posted in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum.

Please let us know if the above worked for you.
Thanks.

Where is the line tool?

Help! I'm using Photoshop Elements 9, and I need to use the line tool, but I'm darned if I can find it.
I know it should be in the upper-left part of the screen, above the tools, but no matter which tool I select
(including the rectangle tool), there is simply no sign of the line tool. How do I get it to appear?
Thanks,
elinwm

Left click at a starting point, keep holding down the mouse button. press the shift key on the keyboard, and drag out the first line.
Repeat for the other 2 sides of the triangle.
Note that each side is a separate shape layer in the layers palette
You can also get a straight line by holding down the shift key with the brush tool, or the eraser tool.
Post back with your progress.

In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). I can't figure out how to disable.

In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). Whenever I try to use a tool, a blue box appears around the line and I have to double click it to manipulate it, which opens just that line in a semi burred screen where all the other objects are semi-grey in the background. I can manipulate this line in this screen but nothing else at that time which I could do about 5 minutes ago. For exampe, I no longer can join up 2 lines drawn by the line tool together. For some reason this started randomly (probably due to a accidental shortcut combination) and I just can't put it back to what it used to be. I have inserted a video hopefully showing what I mean. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you - Just what I needed

How do I stop Photoshop CS4 from creating a new layer each time I use the line tool?

How do I stop Photoshop CS4 from creating a new layer each time I use the line tool?
Each time I use the line tool, a new layer is created. How can I stop this? No settings were changed.
Thanks in advance.

Look at the three options in the top bar.

Where is the Crop tool in CS6?

I used to use the Rectangular Marquee to crop an image, but that is no longer an option. Where is the Crop tool? I tried to use instructions at Photoshop Help | Adjusting crop, rotation, and canvas but that did not help. It never did tell you how to crop an image.

I used to use the Rectangular Marquee to crop an image, but that is no longer an option.
Why?
Make the Selection, then use Image > Crop if you want to use that Tool.
The Crop Tool still has the single-key-shorcut C, so depending on your settings hitting C or shift-C repeatedly should select the Tools with which the Crop Tool shares a space in the Toolbox in turn.

What happened to the Line Tool {from Elements 4}

I have upgraded? From Photoshop Elements 4 to Photoshop Elements 12. Now running on a new Mac Mini. OS-X 10.8.5
I used Elements 4 - 99% of the time, to add text comments, and then Draw a line with arrows at the beginning or end of the line. {to point very specific things in the photo out to others}. With that tool in PSE4 - I could define the width of the line and its color - as well as add Arrowheads to either end of the line.
Opening and looking/learning Photoshop Elements 12 - - I can't find the Line Tool. Please don't tell me I just paid an upgrade fee - to lose the one tool I used most!
Help!

Click the custom shape tool:
and you'll see the other shape tools in the tool options area:

Where is the Eraser Tool

Where is the Eraser Tool in Elements 11? I have been using an older version that has an eraser. I can't seem to find it in Elements 11. The Scratches and Blemishes tools seem to be very difficult to use and confusing.

Press E on the keyboard to see all three choices in the bottom tool options. You should see eraser, background eraser and magic extractor tools.

How do I make the line tool work again?

Can you help me make the line tool operate properly again? I just now accidentally touched something on my keyboard. And now, when I click on the Line Tool in the Tools Panel, and then press the "x" key to toggle the color of the line tool between being black, or being white, neither options works anymore. Now, when I draw a line, it does not apply a black line to my drawing. And when I toggle and press the "x" key again, it doesn"t apply a white line to the drawing either. When the line tool is "white", and I draw a line across a black area, nothing happens. The white line tool doesn't apply to the drawing.
When I've gone to your "help" menu, I'm instructed to press the "Object Drawing Button" in the "Tool Panel". But I've looked at every item in the "Tool Panel" and I cannot find the "Object Drawing Button"..
Can you give me the steps that will help me make the line tool work once again?
Thanks, Mardty Anderson

Thank you for taking your time to respond. I'm using Adobe Photoshop
Elements 11.
A colleague was able to get the problem solved. He chose the "star"
instead of the line. The star worked fine and showed up on the drawing
I'm working on. Then he switched back to the "line". Lo and belold, the
line worked. It's been working fine ever since. Maybe it was a bug in
the program?
Do you know how to use the Picture Organizer in this Photoshop program?
I have several thousand illustrations. The Organizer seems to recognize
some of them (like 5 or 6). But most all of them only appear as a blue
box with a flower design in it. When I click on the blue box, more
pictures appear, but only very quickly does a picture flash up on the
screen, and then it disappears again.
I wish there was a tutor here in the Tucson, Arizona area that I could
hire who could come to our office and coach me. There are several of us
who don't understand this Photo Organizer. Do you know of any leads in
which we could hire a personal tutor for a morning?
Thanks again for your kind response to my first call for help, (Miss)

Why Can I Only Make Black Shape Layers With the Line Tool?

My question is this: How do I make an arrow as a shape layer that's other than black?
Here's what I tried:
1. Choose the Line Tool, and using the cog turn on the arrowhead at end feature, and set the weight.
2. Drag a line on my image, which creates an arrow-shaped path. So far so good.
3, Click the [Shape] button to make a shape layer from the path. Note that the arrow is black, even though my foreground color is white.
4. Double click the shape layer icon and a color picker comes up. Change the color, and note that the arrow stays black.
Seems like a bug: You can have any color shape that you want, as long as it's black.
Here's the above sequence shown graphically:

OK, now I see the Fill and Stroke options - ONLY VISIBLE IN THE OPTIONS BAR WHEN TOOL MODE Shape IS SELECTED - that affect the operation of the [Shape] button.
Personally, I really LIKE the concept of always making a Path, then doing with it what I want (e.g., make a Shape with the button).
I'm not sure what I'd suggest about making the Fill and Stroke options available, but clearly the method of haivng them only show when making Shapes, and not when using the [Shape] button is a stumbling block even for folks who are familiar with the product.
I would probably turn off the Stroke feature by default, though, then let people discover it.

How to turn off measurements when using the line tool

Hello. I'm sorry to trouble you with this small thing but its driving me nuts. I'm using a shared computer at a university and we just upgraded to CS6. When I use the line tool while making a mask a box pops up which measures the line's length and angle. I want to turn it off, and it blocks being able to see what I am trying to mask. I've tried looking this up online and in Photoshop help but I just don't know the correct terminolgy, i.e. what to call it, to find out how to turn it off. Thank you so much so much for any help!
here is a jpg screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/njena5x9ppajzqq/linetool.jpg

That looks like the on-image displays that were added to photoshop cs6
You should be able to turn that off in Photoshop>Preferences>Interface>Show Transformation Values and set Never as the value.
