: Horizontal Alignment in Photoshop - Which is correct? I usually align two text within a box using "Horizontal align center" button at the top menu in Photoshop. Is it the right way to align

I usually align two text within a box using "Horizontal align center" button at the top menu in Photoshop. Is it the right way to align a text horizontally, or should i measure pixel by pixel using a Marque tool to make it visually horizontal?

It visually appears to the user that it is not aligned center. But technically I am right. How will the UI developer measure it to align it in HTML? Will the user think the alignment is not centered even though it is technically right?

The above picture is technically aligned centre.

This image shows the manual alignment which is visually correct.

Which method should I use being an UX designer?

Please explain this to me with an example.

Usually you don't 'visually' center it the way you explained it, but you use the preferred, default usage PS showed you. That said, it is a personal preference.

If you have CAPITALS they don't center visually
HTML headings that are inline don't center visually

First example

On the wordpress homepage for example, they have these quotes:

They don't make the blue hyperlinks visually centered. That's because no browser does that, natively.

another example
