Adjust word and letter spacing in justified text

You can precisely control how Photoshop spaces letters and words and scales characters. Adjusting spacing is especially useful with justified type,
although you can also adjust spacing for unjustified type.

1. Select the paragraphs you want affected, or select a type layer if you want all the paragraphs in that type layer to be affected.

2. Choose Justification from the Paragraph panel menu.

3. Enter values for Word Spacing, Letter Spacing, and Glyph Scaling. The Minimum and Maximum values define a range of acceptable spacing

for justified paragraphs only. The Desired value defines the desired spacing for both justified and unjustified paragraphs:

The space between words that results from pressing the spacebar. Word Spacing values can range from 0% to 1000%; at

100%, no additional space is added between words.

The distance between letters, including kerning or tracking values. Letter Spacing values can range from –100% to 500%;

at 0%, no space is added between letters; at 100% , an entire space width is added between letters.
