var txlayerRef = app.activeDocument.artLayers.add()
txlayerRef.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
txlayerRef.name = "info";
var myTextRef = txlayerRef.textItem;
myTextRef.contents = "*Do what you want\r*till the end";
myTextRef.font = "Arial";
myTextRef.AnchorPosition = "MIDDLECENTER";
myTextRef.size = 10;

Within photoshop script, How can I align text to right side?

Can't find reference from "photoshop-javascript-ref-2020"..

Hi @curtis.Y

You mean justification, if yes then add following line of code in your's code

myTextRef.justification = Justification.RIGHT;

Align is the correct typographic term. The masses, including graphics software devs who should know better, simply use justification to mean align.

Actually, I believe justification is the correct term, as there is right, center, left, and full justification. I don't think there is a full alignment.

Not according to this former compositor. :]

There is left, right or centre alignment (range), with justification having the same alignment/range for the short last line in a paragraph.
