How to center text vertically as in InDesign. When typesetting a manga I want to center the text block inside the cloud at once, is there not the same alignment as in InDesign?

I think they are asking about vertical alignment in a frame: Top, Middle, Bottom, Justify — as they are used to in InDesign.

@enperror

No, sadly Photoshop does not have this ability. InDesign has robust text features, while Photoshop's strengths are with images. PS cannot do vertical alignment in a text frame.

You can also click the 3 dots to the right of the alignment tools in the Options bar to set the alignment to either the Selection or the Canvas in the dropdown menu that appears.

Hi @enperror:

Photoshop does have alignment buttons on the Options bar. With the Move tool active, select the text layer and the cloud layer and use the buttons outlined below.
