Justifying Text

Why Justify Text?

Justifying text can be helpful especially when you are creating a newsletter, magazine, books, newspaper or any kind of publication. Also known as TYPOGRAPHIC ALIGNMENT, what it does is that it allows the first and last words of every line in your paragraph to align with the left and right margin, thus creating this neat text block that spaces evenly, making your publication look organized and clean.

Types of Justification in Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop has four types of Justification to choose from. You may use these types according to preference and format of your document. The types are:

A. Justify Last Left – will justify a paragraph with left alignment

B. Justify Last Right – will justify a paragraph with right alignment
