Specify justification for paragraph type
Text is said to be justified when it is aligned with both edges. You can choose to justify all text in a paragraph
excluding the last line, or you can justify text in a paragraph including the last line. The settings you choose for justi-
fication affect the horizontal spacing of lines and the aesthetic appeal of type on a page. Justification options are
available only for paragraph type and determine word, letter, and glyph spacing. Justification settings apply only to
Roman characters; double-byte characters available in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean fonts are not affected by these
settings.
Do one of the following:
1
• Select a type layer if you want all the paragraphs in that type layer to be affected.
• Select the paragraphs you want affected.
In the Paragraph palette, click a justification option.
2
The options for horizontal type are:
Justifies all lines except the last, which is left aligned.
Justify Last Left
Justifies all lines except the last, which is center aligned.
Justify Last Centered
Justifies all lines except the last, which is right aligned.
Justify Last Right
Justifies all lines including the last, which is force justified.
Justify All
The options for vertical type are:
Justifies all lines except the last, which is top aligned.
Justify Last Top
Justifies all lines except the last, which is center aligned.
Justify Last Centered
Justifies all lines except the last, which is bottom justified.
Justify Last Bottom
Justifies all lines including the last, which is force justified.
Justify All
Note: Justification (right, center, and left align, and justify all) for type on a path starts at the insertion point and ends
at the end of the path.
Adjust word and letter spacing in justified text
You can precisely control how Photoshop spaces letters and words and scale characters. Adjusting spacing is
especially useful with justified type, although you can also adjust spacing for unjustified type.
Select the paragraphs you want affected, or select a type layer if you want all the paragraphs in that type layer to
1
be affected.
2 Choose Justification from the Paragraph palette menu.
