      Photoshop CS6 does support Arabic (and Hebrew).

      It's the same in the final release as it was in the beta.

      Preferences: Type : Choose Text Engine Options: Middle Eastern

      Howdy VodafoneUser,

      Check out this video for Photoshop --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfuw7m5mVTk.

      I'll be adding more over the next couple of months, giving folks a tour of the various MENA features.  Comments and bug-reports are quite welcome!  8-)

      Other CS6 apps should have this functionality as well, although their method to access it might be a little different.

      Shukran,
      David

      I have Photoshop CS 8.0, and I cannot find the "TYPE" window anywhere!! I'd really appreciate your help! When I go to Edit>Preferences, the only options are:

      General,

      File Handling,

      Display& Cursors,

      Transparency & Gamut,

      Units & Rulers,

      Guides, Grid & Slices,

      Plug-Ins & Scratch Disks,

      Memory, and

      File Browser.

      When I select General, I see "Show Asian Text Options" but not Middle Eastern. Do I need to download something? I've been looking everywhere online and can't find anything that tells me what to do.

      Please help!

      Hello,

      Just wanted to follow up with this, was there a workaround or something found? I am having the same issue. Got handed a .psd from someone else in our workflow and it was built using the East Asian text engine, but now I have to paste in an Arabic translation and the ME composer isn't actually changing the direction of my text, just flipping the justification.

      Thanks,

      Arielle


      Hi Arielle,

      I found the only way I could get around the bug in Photoshop is to reset the text to "system layout" (which removes any formatting),

      and then to apply the right-to-left change.

      A bit of a redundant way around and time-consuming if there is a lot of text in the document.

      It certainly would be great to see a future release of Photoshop to return the functionality of being able to simply "flip" text boxes from LTR to RTL.

      Just my 2-shekels worth.

      peace out
