Setting the Color and Width for a Line

After you add a line to an image, you can adjust the color and width settings for the line to meet your needs.

How to Set the Color and Width for a Line

  2. Double-click the line.
  3. In the properties dialog, select the Appearance tab, and adjust the settings.
    • Color Click the down arrow and select a color for the line. To see advanced color options, select More colors.
    • Width Enter a width for the line in pixels.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Click to save your work.

Note A very useful tool when working with objects is a palette, which lets you store objects for future use. For example, if you are including callouts with some images, chances are that you'll want to use the same look and feel for all of the callouts you create. Instead of creating new callouts from scratch each time or copying them from other images, you can create an initial model callout and then add it to a palette. Then, when you're ready to use a callout in another image, you can just drag your model callout from the palette to the image (and make minor changes, such as the text, from there). See Palettes.

What's Next?

If necessary, you can continue editing the image (e.g., adding objects, effects, a callout; cropping the image; resizing the image). Otherwise, you can finalize the image by saving it. See Editing Images.
