PRO TIP: If you are not careful, you can easily end up with crooked lines in Photoshop. To avoid this, make sure to use the ruler tool and measure out your lines before you start drawing them. Also, be sure to use the grid tool to help keep everything straight.

There are a few different ways that you can align text in Photoshop, but the most common and easiest way is to use the alignment options in the Type tool options bar. First, select the Type tool from the toolbar (it looks like a capital T).

Then, click on the location in your image where you want to add text. A text layer will appear in your Layers panel.

Now that you have a text layer, you can begin typing your text. When you’re finished, take a look at the options in the Type tool options bar.

Here, you’ll see four alignment options: Left, Center, Right, and Justify. These work just like they do in Microsoft Word or any other word processing program. Simply click on the alignment option that you want to use and your text will automatically align itself accordingly.

If you want to get a little bit more creative with your text alignment, you can also use the various transformation tools to rotate or skew your text. To do this, first select the Type tool again and then click on the text layer that you want to transform in the Layers panel. Next, go up to the Edit menu at the top of the screen and choose Transform > Scale or Transform > Rotate, depending on what you want to do.

Once you’ve chosen one of those options, a bounding box will appear around your text. You can then click and drag on this bounding box to scale or rotate your text as desired. When you’re done, just press Enter (Win) / Return (Mac) on your keyboard to accept the transformation.

In conclusion, there are several ways that you can align text in Photoshop depending on your needs. The most common and easiest way is to use the alignment options in the Type tool options bar. However, if you want to get a little bit more creative with your text alignment, you can also use the various transformation tools to rotate or skew your text.
