GTA Don Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) Can anyone tell me how to center a layer? I tried Google, but I couldn't find what I was looking for. Please don't say just nuge it until it looks like it's in the center, I want to fully center align it. Help? Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

GTA Don Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 Nope. Just an average layer, I want to center it. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 There's no way to do this, to my knowledge, I remember asking someone once. Just nudge it, you'll get it perfect if you practise, you could use the grid to make it more accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA Don Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 I could've sworn I saw a really easy way to do it on this GTA fansite, but I forgot what it was called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a way, but I never felt like looking for it. I found it faster to just take a guess. Sometimes centering the entire image doesn't even look centered, such as the GTA logo. You're just better off guessing with that. I'll take a look though when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris82 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 CS3 and I believe several earlier versions will "snap" align the layer for you if you move it around in an image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 CS3 and I believe several earlier versions will "snap" align the layer for you if you move it around in an image. That's only to edges, isn't it? It would just get really annoying snapping every time I pass over the middle. And the grid would be your best bet if you want it as centered as possible.

Well you learn a few tricks here and there when playing with Photoshop so much, such as zooming in all the way so it doesn't snap. When zoomed in all the way it moves pixel by pixel.

That would be HELL on an image that's 3072x2304. Even on a standard 1024x768 it would suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'd be able to pin point where you want to move something as you're zooming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, if you're used to this stuff, it's actually easier doing it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
