P: Can't get images to open to center screen when not in tabs

I can't get an image to center in the workspace. On the horizontal axis the image always defaults to zero and therefore I can't read the whole image without reducing the size to very small. See the attached screen shot. Any suggestions?

So annoying . Mine open far right with bottom edge of photo hidden. 

Hey Jeff - thanks for the notice. I don't see a change. Am opening images from bridge; also tried from Finder. Still opening far left. Am running 19.1 - anything else I can do/check on my end? 

Actually, that would have still left the first open on the bottom, last open on top (unless they arbitrarily decided to reverse that, so the one on top would have been up in the left hand corner. Instead, the last opened was on top, and maybe closer to the center.<G>

Honestly, I'm not sure what the answer could be when opening more than one image. Maybe if opening just the one, it should always be front and center. That at least would be a bit more convenient for the user.

With the App frame and tabs, when resizing an image for the web, say, it doesn't properly size to fit the screen. If you choose 100%, which should be right for a small image, it jumps to the upper left, often half off the screen. So it's Cmd-0, followed by Cmd-1 to get it centered. It's also difficult to know what file you're selecting in tabbed view when there are so many they run into a drop down list. The file names are truncated, but not enough to hold very many images without quickly scrolling to the list,  and there are no previews on hover, leaving me to employ Doco—and Adobe did something to its extension code so the panel doesn't properly resize smoothly anymore.<sigh>

So yeah, work could be done to improve this. All of this "little stuff" that annoys us daily does need to get looked at. Adobe just needs to hire more people (I can spend their money all day), because the team they have in place today can't infinitely take on more work. Wish they were those superheroes, but alas. . . <bg>

Bet you're right about that. Maybe opening to center then cascading upward/outward would've made more sense from the beginning.

Oh, I remember now. They used to open as cascading windows, so top left to bottom right, and we could read the filenames. So perhaps that's what's behind the behavior??? I use Tabs with the App Frame, and that feature could stand a bit of improvement, too.  '-}

Gotcha. 

Correct - I'm not suggesting this is a new error or glitch. As long as I can remember I've been having to drag the images to where I can work on them which again, ideally, is centered in front of my face. It's just even more of an issue since I'm now working on a bigger screen. My question I guess is in what scenario would anyone not  want the image  to open centered on the screen? As a photographer opening hundreds of images a day, I can tell you that not once have i done my editing in the upper left corner of the 27" screen. And because I'm often working between several images at once, I don't find tabs convenient to work with. So that adds up to a lot of dragging. If upper left was the ideal place for an image to open, then tabs would open upper left too, you'd think? But they don't...tabbed images open centered on the screen. Where you want them. So my suggestion is to change the default on floating docs. Am I missing something? (And I don't mean that sarcastically...this seems so simple I do feel like I must be overlooking something here?)
