: How to distribute an equal amount of space between each object in Photoshop? I'm using "Distribute Horizontal Centers" in Photoshop, but it might be the wrong tool for the job. I'm guessing

@Welton168

THere is a photoshop extension called "Space Equal", its free and spaces them auto automatically between the outer items. Cant find the link no more though :)

EDIT
i found it again, here is a link

this thing is super useful, totally dont understand while other Adibe software does have it. Feels like different Adobe software still is complete different companies under one umbrella ;)

photoshop can't set space margin between layers that selected, but you can use some plugins and extentions for adobe photoshop to do this for you(make a custome margin between layers), such as uber-spacer.

Select your layers on the layer palette



And then do what you need to do up top (align and distribute)

I just create a box and use that. Its dirty but effective. More clarification, I create a box as in a shape i can move, and create guides on. And delete when done.

Hi im not sure if you guys have thought about this, if you have then sorry, but in illustrator there is an "align by selection" option. So when you select all of the objects you want to evenly distribute they will only distribute between the two end obljects, like book ends. If you space these two objects at the corr

This cannot be done without a script such as the ones provided by Trevor Morris here.[1]

"Distribute Layer Spacing" are the ones to look for on that page.

If you have the Creative Suite you can do this in Illustrator and then bring the objects back into Photoshop. In Photoshop, duplicate the objects to a new file, save, and open the file containing the objects in Illustrator. Click on the black arrow selection tool on the tools menu. Go to Window --> Align to bring up the ALIGN dialog box. Hold SHIFT and click on each object to select them all at the same time. In the ALIGN box, under "Distribute Spacing", click the little black arrow under the text, "Align To:". Select "Align to Key Object". One of the objects will be highlighted with a red outline around it. You can use that one or click on another object to make that your key object. In the ALIGN dialog box there is a box that lets you enter the number of pixels you would like your items separated by. Type in a number (eg. 20 px) and then click the "Horizontal Distribute Spacing" button to the left of that box. This will evenly distribute the objects a specified distance away from each other.

You will then need to use the layers palette to drag each object into its own layer. Otherwise when you bring the file back into Photoshop, all the objects will be one on layer. So just click "create new layer" on the layers window to make new layers for each of your objects, and drag each object into a new layer in the layers palette.

When you're finisihed, go under File --> Export to save the file as a Photoshop document. Then open it in Photoshop, group the layers, and duplicate them into your current document.

You should select the elements in the layer palette.
Then using V - move tool
and the following options will appear:


then you can try all the positioning you think will suit the case.
