hi.
Am I to understand that the origional picture is handdrawn, then scanned in and make a proper lineart from there?
Just wondering as I'm looking for one that explains lineart done out of a digital picture in psd.

I googled your question and .. "There's still no Pen Tool in Elements. Gotta use the Paintbrush Tool or the Lasso Tool depending on what you want to do."

Guessing this is not on a Mac... The "stroke path" option wasn't there when I tried to find it. Very sad.

Aww, that really sucks. T_T I can do the lining just fine it's just thickening it with that one option that I can't do. *sigh* I guess I'll ask around.
Thanks though.

I will thank you so much! I really needed this for basic lines without making them choppy and having to switch between illustrator and photoshop all the time. I'm not that great with freehand and this really helped

question: I have a trial of CS5, but I get really bad pixel lines when I use the tools(especially the pen tool) how do I turn them into sharp ones?

I only have CS, so it's more or less the same, isn't it?
Thanks, now if only I have the time and the right sketch...
