Align objects on different layers

You can align the content of layers and groups using the Move tool. (See Move the content of layers.)

  1. Do one of the following:

    • To align multiple layers, select the layers with the Move tool or in the Layers palette, or select a group.

    • To align the content of one or more layers to a selection border, make a selection in the image, and then select the layers in the Layers palette. Use this method to align to any specified point in the image.

  2. Choose Layer > Align or Layer > Align Layers To Selection, and choose a command from the submenu. These same commands are available as Alignment buttons in the Move tool options bar.
