Hello,

After cropping an image (1)  the new cropped image isn't centered on my workspace anymore (2). Is this a setting I can change as I would like to have the new cropped image centered on my workspace again.

    Correct answer Jeff Arola

    Looks like your using Classic Crop mode and also have Overscroll set in Edit>Preferences>Tools

    Either uncheck Use Classic Mode for the Crop Tool or uncheck Overscroll in the photoshop Preferences>Tools.

    I am having the same issue but resetting the preferences doesn't help for me. 

     

    Is anyone find a fix yet? 

     

    I'm using Photoshop Version 22.4.2

    Do you have Overscroll checked in Preferences?  It might not be on by default (after resetting Preferences).  Lots of things work better when it is turned on.

    Hi,
    I have had the same problem for the past few months when cropping with my images going to the top left of the crop box I am drawing so I've been rolling back to the previous version 21.2.9 where the images are properly centered assuming this was a bug and occasionally upgrading again to see if it has been fixed.

     

    I tried different keywords in the search forum box and turns out from another thread it's an option that needs to be unchecked using EDIT - PREFERENCES - TOOLS and then untick OVERSCROLL.

     

    I use CLASSIC MODE for the Crop Tool and my images are now perfectly centered every time.

     

    Thought I would add this in case you haven't found the answer yet.


    Hi,

     

    Thank you for this and I tried to untick 'overscroll' in Preferences-Tools and it work for me and of course the downside of this is the images won't be able to move round when some 'adjustment window' covering the windows where you need to manually zoom in and out.

    Hi

    No issues here either with the Crop Tool, have you tried resetting Photoshop preferences

    When I reset those preferences, am I losing all my settings (layout, actions, crop-presets)?
