Please can someone explain how to justify text in PS Elements 2024. After the text is selected, I can see align left, centre and right, but not justify. Is it hidden somewhere?

Kind regards

Chris.

The keyboard shortcuts that work with the default install of Photoshop Elements.

Justify Last Left is Command + Shift + J (Mac) | Control + Shift + J (Win) will justify the paragraph except the last line.

Justify All is Command + Shift + F (Mac) | Control + Shift + F (Win) will justify the paragraph AND justify the last line.

If you had a paragraph panel in elements (like photoshop) then these are the buttons that those shortcuts correspond to:

(unfortunately the other two justify options don't have any default keyboard shortcuts in elements nor photoshop, as far as i know)

Looks like your using ElementsXXL?

Look under Edit>Preferences > ElementsXXL>Key Shortcuts where you can change or remove the Edit>Fade (Control + Shift + F) shortcut.

Thanks Jeff. Yes, I am using Elements XXL. I guess that explains why the Control+Shift+F shortcut works differently!

Kind regards

Thank you Glenn and Jeff.

Control+Shift+J works fine.

However, Control+Shift+F brings up a transparency/opacity options box in PSE 2024.

I really don't understand why the developers didn't put a standard justify button in the user interface. That would have been the most logical solution.

Kind regards
