P: Add even spacing align (distribute space) like Illustrator

I have another script Andrew that will space the selected layers to a given pixel spacing, that might be of use..

The request was for the same tools that are available in Illustrator and InDesign - to be able to specify a specific distance between layers to distribute them evenly. So if you have a row of buttons on different layers you can set how far apart to space them without having to measure and set guides ... I use the scripts mentioned upthread and they work really well. I don't know why this can't be implemented directly in Photoshop.

Oh I see the point, Photoshop distributes the centers and not from the edges. So this feature wasn't implemented in CS6, what a shame

Wrong! they will only work if the layers are the same size! If the selected layers are different sizes it does not work. That is why the scripts were created to distribute space.
Check it out before replying!

Here they are http://cl.ly/HOPY

Because they do not exist in Photoshop!

But these features already exist in Photohshop for a long time, why you advise these hacks?

Add a spacing control in the layer alignment panel - the same kind of control that already exists in Illustrator, InDesign and Fireworks ...

I have been waiting for this in Photoshop for ages, but I still have to measure and space layers manually using rulers etc. If it can be done automatically in the other CS software why not in Photoshop as well?

As an example, it would be really useful for laying out buttons - create your button layers, specify a spacing distance and it's done. No need to lay out guides, measure distances and so on.

This script will distribute the selected layers so that they evenly spaced ...
Row(s), Column(s) or Grid

Hi,

Will be really handy if Distributing function is per layer bounds not per layer centers. Not so handy now as I can evenly distribute layers with even measures ...

Thanks.
