Here’s how to make a dotted line in Photoshop 2022:
- Create a new document or open an existing one (Ctrl+N).

First, you can create a new document or open an existing document on which you would like to draw a dotted line. Create a new layer by pressing the new layer button on the layers window or pressing the Ctrl+Shift+N keys.
Next, select the Brush tool by pressing the B key. On the top menu, you should see a brush icon with a down arrow next to it. Click on the down arrow, select your brush size, set the hardness to 100%, and double-click the Hard Round brush.
Next, open the Brush Settings window by pressing the F5 key on your keyboard. The Brush Tip Shape menu should be highlighted by default. Look to the bottom right of the window, and check the Spacing box. Drag the spacing slider to your desired amount. Increasing the Spacing to 200% will result in evenly spaced dotted lines.
You can then draw on your new layer with the Brush tool in any desired color you like and get a dotted line.
