Ok, I have a webcomic, and in the one I'm working on I'm doing a little anime spoofing in a few panels. So, I looked up tutorials on how to do
that whole anime "action lines" effect. I could only find this one:
NewFreeTemplates.com - Anime Action
There was numerous websites with that same tutorial.
Now, I've used photoshop awhile, but mostly just for cropping or sizing, and just generally putting the elements of my comic together. I color it and stuff in a different program. So, while I've used it a while, I'm not familiar with the advanced elements. (I have 7.0, by the way, I'm not exactly on top of the recent tech, either, haha.)

Now, my problem:
I have trouble with the two steps after the radial blur:
"- Make both layers visible and add some lines with the line-tool;
- Choose "Stroke Path" and click "Stimulate Pressure" (note: that way, it looks like the lines are moving);"

See, my problem is, when I use the line tool, I can't choose stroke path and I don't know anything about the pen tool to try and use that. It's like he's leaving something out. I have no idea what I'm doing.
So basically, can you explain what he's trying to say, only better?
Or alternatively, can you tell me or point me to a better way to achieve the effect I'm going for?
Thanks in advance.
 
Drop an empty layer before the stroke path thing.
To stroke a path with "Simulate pressure" goto menu->window->paths
Right click the "Work Path" path
Choose stroke
