How can I arch text perfectly?

[Jordan26569062gagf]

I am going to edit - transform - warp - arch, and setting the bend at 10. It's not incredibley noticable, but if I draw a line under the text, the leftmost letter is lower than the rightmost letter. Is there a way to fix this?

The first thing that comes to mind is following up with Free Transform to rotate it slightly.  You could use a guide to make sure it is perfectly straight.

Thanks, I can do that, but was hoping for a shortcut, as I'm planning to do this with many different files. I really do appreicate the response. I'll probably do it that way if I cannot figure out another way.

Did you try making the texted centered.

Do you know how I might be able to center it in the middle of the bend?

[Jumpenjax]

Before you curve the type center your copy. Then add the curve as you see fit.

I am not sure how to do that. When I select the text and click to center it, it just centers it in the middle of the canvas workspace.

See if turning the text layer to a Smart Object then going to Edit>Transform Warp>Arch yields better results.

Thanks. I did try that, but the same, crooked result.
