I'm using pen tool and clicked A+ENTER to deselect

Now I need to fatten those lines/paths I deselected and I don't know how to... I just need to make the line a few pixels wider and it's driving me nuts. I have already traced my own work several times, but I'm sick of it and can't seem to hit that perfect line width without that particular function... And typical of photoshop, it's impossible to know what to google... And believe me I tried.

I have a feeling that I permanently deselected/deleted those paths, but how would I possibly know? It's not like photoshop makes sense.

Photoshop makes perfect sense right down to the pixels. There are many ways to interpret what you just said. Sounds to me like you want to stroke the lines to make them wider, if you're using using brush to stroke your lines set your brush to the size of pixels that you want to be before you start.

Open the paths panel.

Uh, both of the above. Your path should still be there unless you specifically deleted it in the paths panel

Like iDad said, make a larger stroke. I prefer to go to the edit menu>stroke myself since it seems easier than adjusting my brush - usually a lot smaller than I normally want for other uses.

If in fact you deleted the path, don't despair! :mrgreen:

Click on the thumbnail of the outline you created. You will get an outline of the line. Go to select>modify>expand, enter the pixel width you want, and fill it with the color. That should take care of it.

Technically you'd be right, but I can't find my paths, they must've gotten deleted when I pressed A+Enter...

I just though you could change your line thickness as you went along, cause that would make sense... But anyway I traced my work once more and that was that. I guess A+Enter is off the table from now on.
