Can anyone tell me how to stop photoshop from moving my images back into frame? (video link added)

When comparing lenses or stuff like that I like to move say, the edges of the image to the center of the monitor but the moment I switch tabs, photoshop moves them again.
Older versions of the program didnt do this but at some point it started doing that and I just decided to ignore it but I really want to see if it can be changed back

Hi @Luis5FD2,

Thanks for sharing the video, that definitely helps illustrate what you’re seeing. I tried to reproduce this behavior on my end in Photoshop v27.0, but couldn’t. I’ve tested with multiple files open in different zoom levels and positions, and none of them snap or move back into frame when switching tabs.

To help us narrow this down:

Please confirm your Photoshop version and OS version.
Please share step-by-step repro instructions or a sample PSD (you can DM the file link) so I can test with a similar setup.

If I can reproduce it with your file, I’ll forward it to the Photoshop product team for review.

In the meantime, I’d also recommend updating to version 27.0, which includes several stability fixes that may resolve this issue outright.

Best,

Hello,
I just installed V27.0 as well and it does the same thing. Is really ANY File I try.I am on Windows 11 but has been happening in previous windows and computer builds for a long time now.
All I have to do is make the image 100% then drag it so that the edge of the frame is right in the middle of the screen, for example, then click on any other tab.
When you come back to this image tab again, it will not be where you left it.

Thanks

Thanks for the additional details, @Luis5FD2. I ran another round of tests based on your steps and was finally able to reproduce this on my end, but only under very specific conditions.

From what I’m seeing, the behavior happens with files that have a very large horizontal canvas width, for example, 10k pixels. After a 50% zoom, these wide documents will slowly move back into frame when switching tabs. I was unable to reproduce the issue with square images or portrait-oriented files, and it does not seem to appear at other zoom levels.

Please verify if the same steps work with a square file and a portrait-orientation file or any other zoom level.

Once you confirm, I can consolidate this into a clean, reproducible report for the product team.

Regards
