OK a very simple question that I can't find an answer to.
How do you draw a straight line from A to B?
ie I have a simple jepg photo. I want to draw a straight line to illustrate an item.
I can free hand a line but a straight line? I know there has to be an embarrassingly easy way to do it.
thanks

Re: Drawing a straight line
Select Brush tool
Click point A
Hold Shift and Click point B
Or you can Hold Shift, Click and drag and release Shift and move pointer to point B
Or you can just use vector Line tool

Re: Drawing a straight line
If you want to use pencil, brush, smear finger or other brush tools:
Hold shift, press and hold mouse button, release shift (or keep holding it if you want 45°), move to the end point, release mouse button.
Or you can use "create line". That allows to correct positions, colors, use an arrow as a line style, add shadow effects... And for very special needs, there's "layout > image > path painting" to combine vector and brush.

Thanks folks. Too easy. I couldn't see it in help. Maybe my eyes weren't looking the same way as my brain !!
