We still need this! Just another strange example of how Adobe fails to streamline the user experience across its suite of apps.

I hope this functionality will be available in 2023, very useful and necessary, almost mandatory for a program like Photoshop (personal opinion).

Of course no response after 4 years. That is how Adobe works. They just don't care about it. They have your money already. Why should they give you a basic feature xD ?

Don't hold your breath. It's rare that Adobe adds features that are actually useful to designers. They're all about, "What new flashy feature can we add, like AI or 3D stuff?"

I've still been waiting for the simple-to-implement feature of graphic styles that work the way they do in InDesign or Illustrator, where you can redefine styles and update any elements that use that style. Would be a heck of a lot easier than copying and pasting Layer Styles when you have a document with 200 layers.

There's a widespread demand for a Vertical Align Text Tool, addressing the common issue that not all text aligns at the top. The convenience of such a tool lies in its ability to append new lines of text upward, rather than the standard downward progression. Imagine a feature where clicking the "Middle" button allows new lines to expand both upward and downward from the initial insertion point. Moreover, if a Text Square is utilized, the text would intuitively position itself at the vertical center of the designated area, ensuring a balanced and visually appealing layout.

Yes, much awaited. To address the need for more flexible text alignment, a possible solution could be the development of an advanced Vertical Align Text Tool. This tool would revolutionize text placement by introducing the option to append new lines of text upwards, breaking away from the traditional downward flow.

We get new ways to select backgrounds & subjects every year, still no basic type control in PS. Basic functionality in Adobe software is a joke, with Photoshop leading the pack for stubborn, non-intuitive and downright lacking software. It's too bad nobody at Adobe responsible for bux fixes or feature implementation actually use the software they break every update.

Right now the only way to do this is baseline shift. I've been looking at the numbers and it could be scripted.

Baseline shift is not a solution; it's a workaround for a missing function. Professionals shouldn't have to hack around to have a functional software that costs thousands per year to rent from a company like Adobe that simply refuses to fix bugs and missing features in their software, some of which have existed since CS2.

I get it but sometimes you have to use w workaround.

You can fit the text box by converting from paragraph to point text and back, and align that, but if you must have a larger text box then you have no other choices.

The solution: work on figma instead. If Adobe cant change something for us, then let us change design programs.

Photoshop is an image editor not a design program. Adobe publishes Illustrator and InDesign for design.

@Lumigraphics  Are you coming from the past? It surely started as an image editor but evolved to be a design tool indeed.
