Photoshop & centering text?

hey i was wondering if there is a way to center your text on photoshop, bc i always use 600x600 pixel size to create thing and whenever i click the C center button it moves it like all the way to the left and i cant even see it anymore.

You have too many spaces in front of the text.. Make sure you delete any unwanted spaces....

It's a pain when that happens, huh?



With the type tool, drag a box in your file then place or type your text by clicking at the top of the box with the type icon. That way it will confine it to the width you want when you centre it.



It has nothing to do with your text or spaces - you just need the type area box which will answer your issue. Good Luck
After you press the center button, try dragging the text to where you want it on the screen. If you are talking about ''center'' as in the center of the document space, go to View Rulers/grids and then you will be able to find the dead center. You can also specify under preferences what you want the units of the rulers and guidelines to be in (Pixels, inches, picas....etc)
When you draged accross to create a new text box photoshop will have automaticaly created a new layer. Once you have done what Sherlock suggest you can then select the text you have just typed and use the centre button on the top task bar to centre the text within the box. Hit enter.



To centre your text box within your image hit the V key on your keyboard to select the move tool. In the layers palet click on the background layer and then control click the text layer so that they are both selected.



If you look up to the top task bar there are six little symbols that are a big square, a little square and a line. Play around with these and they will help you align your text where ever you would like it within your image.



Hope that you could understand all that.



All the best.
