How to Add Indentations in Photoshop

With Adobe Photoshop, you can display text on images by adding a text layer to the photo, graphic or illustration. Once you have entered the text onto the text layer, called a “type layer” in Photoshop, you indent the text paragraphs using the tools in the application's “Paragraphs” panel.

For horizontal text, selecting the “Indent Left Margin” option indents the text from the left edge of the highlighted paragraph. Choosing the “Indent Right Margin” option indents the text from the right edge of the highlighted paragraph. Selecting “Indent First Line” indents just the first line of the paragraph from the left. For vertical text, the left option indents the text from the top of the paragraph, while the right option indents the text from the bottom; the “First Line” option indents the first line from the top of the paragraph.
