Draw a straight line with GIMP.

Pencil tool, point 1, hold shift, point 2. Is it any easier in Photoshop?

Edit: yes, apparently there is a line tool in Photoshop.

Ok, that's not bad. And the GIMP tutorial pages are way better than last time I used them.

It's still a little obscure for casual users - having to remember key combinations between infrequesnt uses (was it shift? Alt? Control?) especially trips me up when working with selections... adding, removing, etc. But I shouldn't use line creation; that's pretty simple.

With default keybinds: N, left click, shift+ left click.
