Align and distribute as separate window panel

Community Beginner ,

Hi everyone!

Does anyone know another plugin to have "Align and Distribute" in a separate window instead of in the option bar that doesn't only work in Rosetta mode?

I've been using an old plugin from Toshiyuki Takahashi in the past but that plugin does only work in Rosetta mode... (for reference: https://exchange.adobe.com/apps/cc/13665/align-and-distribute)

 

It might be just me, but I don't find it very straight forward to align layers, having to switch to the move tool first and then work within that tiny space in the option bar not even showing ALL options at once having to open the three ••• dropdown menu for more...  to me it's not a very efficient way to work. That old plugin I found had everything nice and spread out in a separate window – very convenient!

Sometimes I just don't know what the heck the Adobe team is thinking or doing.

 

Thanks!

Jeff is correct.

No need for plug-ins (besides, f the author disappear or fail to upgrade/adapt the tool for a new computing environment, you're stuck).

 

In addition to Jeff's Window>Properties, Ps 2025 has a second grouping of tools that becomes available when 1) the document contains more than one layer, and 2) the Move tool is activated.
