I have not figured out how to justify text in Photoshop. There is a button for it in the Character Palate, but it doesn't allow me to click on it. When I try adjusting the Justification options, I can't seem to get anything that actually looks like it's justifying the text.
Help!

Re: Justifying Text?
Tue, March 21, 2006 - 1:17 PMYou need to have the layer with the text selected if you are using the Arrow tool. If you are using the Text tool, you need to highlight all the text you want to adjust. -

Wed, March 22, 2006 - 6:17 AMDid you put a "return" (line break) at the end of each line? If this is the case, then your full justify won't work because there's nothing to justify it against.
Can you use the right and left justify ok? -

Wed, March 22, 2006 - 6:46 AMHmm... in addition to the return I would suggest that you use real words and spaces. Don't just bang out dummy text without spaces.
"sdsdlkfdlnggsdlsdndsngnsdnfdfdelsf" has no breaks and will read as one continuous word in the mind of Photoshop.
"as fgdeg geg dasdd dgg d gadeg" has breaks that will allow line breaks and justification to be applied. -

Wed, March 22, 2006 - 10:17 AMHere's a link to a screenshot of what I'm coming up against. I've selected the text I'd like to justify. Yes, there are "returns" after each line, but I tried it without them and got the same lack of results. You can see vaguely under the character palette that all four "justify" buttons are faded-out, not click-able. As for the justification preferences, I have no idea how to adjust them. Regardless, nothing I do seems to approximate justification.

Wed, March 22, 2006 - 10:24 AMJust for the record I am not certain if you have Illustrator or In-design but they are more suited for this job . That said it appears you are doing everything right . Try playing with the kerning to get the effect you want . -

Wed, March 22, 2006 - 10:27 AMI think I know what your problem is. You just clicked the Text tool to get a cursor and started typing right?
Well what you should do is select the Text tool, and then click and drag a box to type in. You type inside the box and then you can justify it however you want. -

Another one of those things we self-taught photoshopers take our time to stumble across.
Thanks! -

Wed, March 22, 2006 - 12:08 PMI took photoshop classes, been working with PS for 8 years and this is new to me as well. There is just so much to photoshop that I'm still constantly learning new things.
