Very often when I add a new layer, containing text, or another item into an image, I want to center the element in the new layer horizontally, or vertically.
It would seem that there must be a quick way to do this, but I haven’t been able to find it.
With text which is center justified in its own text box, centering the text box horizontally would then place the text in the center of the overall image.
With a layer consisting of an element that was pasted into an image, that layer is transparent, except for the element pasted in.
I know that I can center things the "hard" way, by doing some arithmetic. But, it would seem that there should be a way as there is in many programs, similar to right clicking, and choosing "center horizontally".
So, am I missing this somewhere?
