Hi,

Was wondering if there's a way to draw a line that fades to transparent,
that is, I'd like to draw a line using the line tool in PS and have it fade
off. I know I can draw a line then mask it off but I'd like to know if
there was a tool or plugin that would facilitate this job... a tool that
could adjust the weight and distance to fade if you know what I mean...
anyways thanks for your time and help.

Check the Options palette for any of your painting tools. You can set the fade distance
there.

then don't make it with the line tool then. Use the path tool and stroke
it with the paintbrush set to fade.

Use the pencil tool . Set your desired line weight and fade distance. Click once where you
want to start your line. Hold down the Shift key and click again where you want the line
to end (or slightly past). Voila... one straight fading line.

You could also use the gradient and fade it to your background colour

You're looking at the wrong tool bubs....you pick the Paintbrush or Pencil
tool (although I prefer the paintbrush) and then go to options....you will
see *fade-*blank*steps*. To draw a long line thats fading you need a fade to
200 to 300 steps depends on how long you want the line
NOW if you want a long straight line (much like the one you will get using
the line tool) just press shift as you drag the line across the workspace

I can email you an example if you so wish..just holler..

its sinfully easy
