Can we have a Baseline Grid (like InDesign)

It would be VERY useful to be able to set a Baseline Grid in Photoshop, just like you can in InDesign.

 

But make any settings, modifications, changes live, so you don't keep having to open/close any dialogue window. (As I have suggested for InDesign).

Photoshop is not meant for text-heavy documents. For my part, if I need a baseline grid so the baselines line up across columns, I will use InDesign, which has so many more type controls that are not available in Photoshop.

 

You posted this as an Idea, so the Photoshop team will see your post and others can upvote. This is my opinion only.

 

In the meanwhile, you can achieve the same results the way we used to do it eons ago. Don't use auto-leading. Instead, use the same leading (or multiples of it) for all of the text, regardless of the typesize. If your body text is 11/13, for instance, then you can use 13, 26, 39, etc., for the leading in other paragraphs.
