is there a simple way to center some text in photoshop to the middle of the image?

thanks

Type the text on your image then select the pick tool ("V" on the keyboard). Go down to your layers pallette and click on the image to highlight it. Then click the empty space next to the eyeball in the layer's pallette for the text layer. This will link the text to the image. Now, go up to your tool bar and you'll see the icons that look like something being aligned...select the middle of each the 2 sets of icons.

Give me 10 minutes and I'll make a couple of screen shots to help.

While we're on the subject, does anyone know how to get rid of this number and mail box that appears for me on the top left of every image in PS7?

Cntrl+H on the keyboard. You might have to hit it twice :thumbsup

hmmm that's not doing it : /

I will go out on a limb and say that IS bizzarre.

Top menu | View > Show > Slices

That did it!
Thanks :thumbsup

CTRL+H just hides extras. It's best to turn it off the way plat said.



Another way to center is go to View>Snap then go to your bottom (background) layer... and drag two guides out.

One from the top, and one from the left.

They will snap to center in the middle of the image.
Then select your text layer or any other layer. And drag it towards the center of where the guides intersect.
The text will snap to center.

i always use CTRL+H to hide slices...

In PS7. If you click the slice tool there is a button that says, "hide auto slices"

Ctrl+H hides everything. Your selection marquee, guides... everything.

Some really useful info there thanz guys :thumbsup

anymore questions bout ps?

i r happy to answer right now :c)
