How Do You Align Objects in Photoshop?

Last updated on February 14, 2023 @ 5:49 pm

In Photoshop, you can align objects in a number of ways. The most common way is to use the
Alignment options in the Layer menu.

To do this, select the object or objects you want to align in the Layers window.

From there, go to the top menu and select Layer > Align and choose the appropriate Align option from the menu. The available alignment options are ‘Top Edges‘, ‘Vertical Centers‘, ‘Bottom Edges‘, ‘Left Edges‘, ‘Horizontal Centers‘, and ‘Right Edges‘. In this example, we will be using the ‘Top Edges’ alignment option.

The top edges of your objects should now be aligned.

You can also use “Rulers” to align objects in Photoshop. To do this, simply go to View > Rulers to make the rulers visible in your canvas.

NOTE: You can also use the keyboard shortcut “Ctrl+R” to enable the Rulers guide.

You can then position your object or objects so that they line up with the guides. You can use the Move tool to move the object or objects into place.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that aligning objects in Photoshop can be a complex process, depending on the objects involved. If you are not experienced in using Photoshop, we recommend seeking help from a professional before attempting to align objects.

Conclusion:

There are a few different ways that you can align objects in Photoshop. The most common way is to use the alignment options in the Layers menu, but you can also use the Rulers to guide you in positioning the objects.
