If you’re wanting to center something in Photoshop, there are a few different ways that you can do so. One way is to use the alignment options that are available when you have your text layer selected. You can also use the auto-align feature in Photoshop, or even use guides to help you center things.

To use the alignment options, simply select your text layer and then click on the “Alignment” options at the top of the screen. From here, you can choose to align your text to the left, center, or right. You can also justify your text, which will spread it out evenly across the entire width of your document.

PRO TIP: This note is to warn you that centering something in Photoshop can be tricky. There are a few different ways to do it, and it’s easy to accidentally move something when you’re trying to center it. So be careful, and take your time when centering something in Photoshop.

If you want to use the auto-align feature, you first need to select all of the layers that you want to align. To do this, hold down the “Shift” key and click on each of the layers that you want to select.

Once they’re all selected, go to Edit > Auto-Align Layers. From here, you can choose how you want your layers to be aligned. You can align them by their centers, or by their edges, among other options.

Finally, another way that you can center something in Photoshop is by using guides. To do this, simply click on the “View” menu and then select “Show”. From here, select “Guides”. Once your guides are visible, you can drag them out from the rulers on either side of your document until they’re in the middle of your document. You can then align your layers with these guides.
