Don't know about Photoshop, but I will say its friggen hard to get it right in PSP.  I'll see if I can get the trial or something for PS and give it a spin.

From what I remember, theres some effect that you can make a dotted line and then click and hold shift and click again where you want the line to end.  But, don't take my word on that.

at least in paint shop pro, you can not make a 1 pixel dotted line.

there is someone who made a web page with directions, and stuff, but that was for making the skin on 2048x2048 and the rivets were 2x2 pixels at least

try doing a hand made dot by dot for a smaller distance, then copy and paste lengths of it.

That was me.  I spent several hours trying to get a 1x1 line, but that never happened.

That's what I usually end up doing.

Or u can  hold down mouse button and keep moving the mouse.



Or u can hold shift for a straight line.

I dont have a problem drawing a straight line... problem is how I make a dotted line without drawing each dot by it self and then copy pasting it...

Isnt there some way to change line style????

at least from em trying for like 4 hours, and united trying LOL


it doesn't really take that long, i'd say i riveted a whole fuselage in about 2 hours that way.

maybe 1 1/2 hours for a wing.

wow....


Here's the $50 hint for the day.......

Do a little search in help for brush spacing.

Heh. That's why I kept using Illustrator for my rivet lines... however, I'm really not liking the effect it's giving me on the import in anymore...
