Once you get done with typing out the text, select your move tool and move it to the center.
Brendan,
I assume that you are working in Photoshop Elements.
1. Open your image
2. Duplicate background, shut off visibility of background
3. With background copy active, select text tool and produce your text
4. You will notice in layers palette that text is on a separate layer. Click on the move tool and move it in to position relative to the image.
Hope that this helps.

Yes, as Mark said and there is a feature that comes in handy for this…under edit>preferences>General; check ‘select move tool after commiting text’….this way you can automatically move the text where you want when you are done….ya, saves ya a split sec 🙂
anyone else want to answer ? I guess Ken and i were typin around the same time. Hi Ken 🙂
no im sick and tired of having to situate it myself, isnt there some way to make it automatically center it in the image? ive done it before but i cant find the tutorial or remember how to do it
and yes im using photoshop elements,thats why its in the elements forum 😛
like i said above, i dont want to move it and potentially not correctly center it, i just have a plain black background and i want it *centered* not moved wherever i want… ive done it before but i cant find the tutorial or remember how to do it

If you want it to be exactly centred first you must set a grid to find the centre.
Go to Edit > Preferences… > Grid and set "Guideline Every" to 50 and Percent next set "Subdivisions" to 1
Next go to View and set "Snap to Grid" and "Grid" to on
Next you and either select centre text and star typing right at the junction of you grid or you can type anywhere and move the text with the Move Tool in either case the will snap to the centre.
