Teach you how to draw continuous short dotted lines in PS

How to use PS to draw a dotted line, not one dot after another, but a small short line one by one

There is a very simple method, because I have been studying this for the past two days, so I will share it:

If you need to draw a box, you can create a new layer, use the rectangular selection tool, adjust the spacing in the brush settings, hold down the Shift key and click on the four corners of the rectangle.

In this case, you may notice that the selection is still dots, but don't worry. You can make fine adjustments by selecting Menu, then Edit, then Shrink. You can try changing the pixel size as needed, for example I adjusted it by 5 pixels and you can see the effect. Finally, you can press the Delete key to delete your selection and see how it works!

This is what I just painted, do you see if it has this effect~

Let me add to you, if you just want to draw a straight line, that is also possible.

The reason why dots appear when drawing lines may be because the shape of the pen tip used is inappropriate. In my CS6 version, it is recommended to use a No. 9 pen tip, set it to a square shape, and adjust parameters such as spacing according to personal needs. There is no fixed value. The effect after adjustment is as follows: the drawn lines will be more continuous and no dots will appear.

If I can find any good methods in the future, I will add more

Two more methods

1. Just use the text tool to type: "-" Type a little more and it will be a dotted line - - - - - - - - - - - -

2. Use the pen tool to first draw a straight line (click a starting point and hold down shift, then click again), find the brush preset, (shortcut key F5) adjust the brush size to about 1-2 pixels, see for details Your thickness is gone. Then adjust the hardness to 0 and the spacing to about 200-250, depending on the dotted line spacing you need. After setting up, create a new layer and return to the pen tool. Right-click on the path just now, stroke the path, and then delete the path. At this time, you will get a dotted line composed of dots. At this time, hold down Ctrl and click on the layer to get Select, then go to Select-Modify-Border is about 2px, click OK, then invert the selection and delete. The original circle becomes a line segment.

The first method is easier
