How to Justify Text in PSE 5!!!

[amypintx]

I am so excited to have found something to share with everyone! I've read several posts asking how to justify text in PSE and I found out how! Drag a text box with the text tool, type your text, and press CTRL+SHIFT+J!!!

Hopefully this will be helpful to someone!

Thank you for this information. This does justify left AND right in PSE 5 - I just checked. It would be interesting to see if this worked for 4. I also tried just typing with hard returns, and this doesn't work. So, you have to draw your text box first for this to work. This will probably only work in PSE 4 and 5.

Great tip Amy. Thanks!

Found a tutorial here (http://spraguelab.squarespace.com/). I haven't checked to see if it is exactly the same as Trish's tut.

I also like the tutorial Misty Cato wrote on fitting text into a selection (Photoshop)--which is exactly what you do when you justify it to a particular text box:
Her information is here: (http://mistycatodesigns.blogspot.com/2007/03/text-fill-tutorial.html)
AND:
Sometimes you can get at this by changing the layer type: Layer -> Type -> Convert To Paragraph Text.

Once this is done the Justify option for Paragraph works great.

(A little more detail) If you want to set text in Adobe Photoshop to justify all (both left and right), you need to select the Text tool, then click and drag on the image so that you create a rectangle for the text. Then you can select justify all in the Paragraph toolset (under the Window menu). If you only select the Text tool and click on the image, you will get a cursor, but the justify all option on the paragraph toolset will be greyed out.
