Photoshop is not the best tool for laying out text. InDesign is much better suited for this task, and it can easily accomplish that.

There's two solutions in Photoshop, neither will be answer that you're looking for.

Solution 1

This is more of a hack than a solution.

Set the line-height to be very high so it will be vertically centered, and add a line break above your text (press enter). This will only work for one-lined text boxes and is not modular outside of that.

Solution 2

This is the only real solution. Ditch the bounding box, and use the Move tool to align text.

Steps:


Select the Move tool (Press V)
Select the text layer
Make a selection out of the background object (ctrl-click the layer)
Use the alignment tools in the toolbar to center horizontally and
vertically (screenshot of what you're looking for below)




These steps on average take about 1-2 seconds if you're quick about it, I do this all the time in Photoshop. Bounding boxes are pretty worthless and should only be used for pasting large amounts of filler text, in my opinion.

You will have to re-align text if it goes beyond one line using this approach. There's no real way around it using Photoshop.

There are probably much better ways to do it in AI. In Photoshop, you can use Type > Convert to Point Text to create a much tighter BB...
