: How do you achieve the margin:auto effect in Fireworks/Photoshop? In Fireworks and for an image similar to this: what's the best way to horizontally distribute objects in their parent container

@Turnbaugh909

I don't know about Fireworks, but Photoshop is CLEARLY lacking in distribute options.

There is no inherent method for distributing space within Photoshop. All the alignment buttons will do nothing to ensure spacing is equal. Photoshop aligns by object bounds and at times those bounds can be so dramatically different (as with type layers) that no matter how often you click alignment options, nothing distributes evenly.

This is why some cleaver people have written scripts to distribute spacing.

Click this to find some links to scripts for distributing space within Photoshop. I use these on a daily bases with Photoshop CS4 and newer without any problems.
