I happen to agree with you and have written a feature request for this. Hopefully, we'll add this sooner than later. User stories explaining why this is important are useful to raise the priority.
Everyone wants a Vertical Align Text Tool! Not all text sits at the top of things... and that's why it would be so nice to have a tool where new lines of text would be appended upward, instead of downward. Clicking the "Middle" button on the Vertical Align Text Tool would cause new lines to be appended upward and downward from the initial insertion point. If a Text Square was dragged out, text will automatically center itself vertically in that space.
We have a Horizontal Align tool, why not a Vertical Align? It's 2012- this would be a nice CS6 feature!!! Thanks guys!
Photoshop allows you to center text horizontally within a text box with the click of a button. Please add a similar button that allows users to center text vertically within the text box. (Or at the bottom of the text box, for that matter.)
Seems like pretty basic functionality... I was surprised to discover that users currently have to eyeball where the vertical center is, then rely on baseline shift.
Is there a way to vertically center text within a paragraph box? If not, when will there be? It seems like a significant oversight and a relatively simple fix.
In my current case, the paragraph box is bent around an arc with the "Create warped text" feature. Also, I have a script that is inserting different text contents, so the process needs to be automated. It isn't practical to re-adjust the position of the text box, and the curvature of the arc for each of the 150 iterations. Writing a script to do that would be an overwhelming endeavor for me at this point.
Here's an example of what I'm working on. You can see the room for improvement. [link removed]
We're at version 20.0, and it's mind-boggling that such a simple feature has not been added to Photoshop yet. Without this it's pretty much impossible to work with Variables and Data Sets that can have varying line counts.
Wow. I started using photoshop in 1991 and owned my first copy when it was a complementary tool best shared with the likes of kai's power tools/soap and fractal design Painter, software which was shipped in a beautiful 1 gallon paint can.
I always assumed that it was easy enough to place text in the middle of a bounding box but I never bothered to figure out how to do it. I just fumbled around with the lower edge of the bounding box until it was close enough to the bottom that it would appear, more or less, centered.
That this has actually never been addressed in photoshop strikes me as a classic example of how indignant developers can be ("That's not what this software is for!")
It seems so simple to be able to centre text within a text area, but there is still no option to do this, why?
When creating button, etc it would make life soooo much easier to have this simple functionally.
People have been requesting this for years, please fix this issue.
Thanks
Hey, I just wonder: Why haven‘t this tool still not found its way into Photoshop? Over 2 years later so many people stated that they need and want it so badly and still not here...
I posted a very detailed description last year why this would be important, you can find it here with examples. You can also reach out to me if sou have questions. I would so much love and make a happy dance when this feature is finally available!
Please dev team, we're dying for this! I create PSD templates for clients that need to be dummy proof, and I can easily set up a layout that will work with a text box that can be set to automatically vertically center the text.
Yes, please! I create a lot of templates that require this. It can be done in Id and Ai but not Ps for some odd reason. This would save hours of rework and provide a lot more consistency across our assets and the templates they are generated from. I have no idea why this has been overlooked for so many years.
It's just annoying trying to align a text since the fonts include empty space which makes aligning work incorrectly. I have to create a duplicate, rasterize it and then move it with the text object simultaneously. Any workaround on this would be appreciated.
It's the end of 2021 and it's still not a feature? Seems like it's pretty basic and would help a lot. Can we please get on this? I need this much more than I need an adobe stock plugin...
