My Brigtness / Contrast tool window pops up DEAD CENTER every time I open it so it's right over the image. I move it off to the side off the image but it doesn't stay put. Next time I open it it's right back at dead center. Every other tool window in PS stays wherever I move it. Why won't this window stay put?

Photoshop 26.8.1

Brightness/Contrast not previewing;

can see it changing after I click & as image closes;

also, Brightness/Contrast box only appears center of screen over image,

not in lower right corner where I drag it to be out of image's way;

tried Preferences > General > Reset Preferences on Quit, didn't resolve;

please advise, thanks in advance

Update Photoshop to 26.9 and see if that resolves the issue.

From within Photoshop go to Help>Updates.

It's very annoying that this window always pops up in the middle of the screen, i have to manually drag it everytime to see how it affects my work.

Also please remove the "use legacy" option from below, it's unnecesary and it breaks the option to move from brightness to contrast pressing tab (which I used a lot and was super practical)

Thanks for the reports! The issue appeared in PS Beta, and it remains in Photoshop v26.9. The current version of Photoshop Beta 26.10 (m.3166) works as expected. Please feel free to try & report back.

Best,

OK thanks everyone. Glad to see it's not only me.

Bightness/Contrast is not a Tool but an Adjustment.

Are you talking about a Brightness/Contrast Adjustment Layer or applying the Adjustment destructively?

For the latter case I can reproduce the issue – which might indicate that it’s an intended behaviour but as the Curves and Hue/Saturation modal windows appear to maintain the last position it does seem like unexpected behaviour (at least).

Hey, @bkushner08106, welcome to the Photoshop Community. Thanks to @Ged_Traynor and @c.pfaffenbichler for the great suggestion and for helping speed this up.

I can verify the team has worked on this and the fix is available in Photoshop (beta). Please try Photoshop (beta) from the Creative Cloud desktop app > Beta Apps Section and check if the behavior exists.

Thanks!

@bkushner08106 try manually resetting your Photoshop preferences

Remember to back up your settings before doing the preference reset
