How to center view in photoshop?

Question

I often work with PSD files which width equals to my display's one (1920px), so when I preview my document in full screen mode (pressing F) and set scale to 100% by pressing CTRL+1, my image will probably get shifted to one of the directions (up, left, right).

How do I center my document, so it starts from the top left pixel of my monitor, and ends to the top right pixel of it, so I don't have to struggle with centering the image by CTR+Scroll or using scrollbars?

Also, when I crop a picture, it doesn't auto-center in the window, like it used to.

I think I found the answer, which might help the other people asking the question.

Go into Edit>Preferences>Tools

Uncheck Overscroll

Click OK

Hello.  I know this is several years later but I had the same problem and just figured this out.  I thought I would go ahead and share with you.   In your PS, at the top, go to Windows/Workspace/ and choose Photography.    From now on when you open a photo it will be centred on your screen.   I hope this helps.
