Photoshop CC 2018- How to turn off the recentering in full screen mode ?

Hello
When I work in full-screen mode (F), I want to move my workspace with the hand (space). Since the update is impossible to move easily. The workspace is recenter automatically.

For example if I want to work details, I zoom to 200% and use the full screen mode. I want to move the window to the left for work on the right side of my drawing, but photoshop automatically re-centers the workspace. And I can't see my work anymore. This new default setting is very painful.

How to turn off the recentering of the workspace in full screen mode ?

Thank you

Best regards

Adobe just released an update (19.1.0) and the issue has been resolved. Finally!

I'm working with photoshop 2019 and still having this problem. I am only working with one layer and cannot move side to side at all or up and down. I can only zoom in and out which is automatically centered. Please help

Not fixed.

1. Have a large image 65"x40".

2. Select crop tool.

3. Use keyboard shortcuts to temporarily switch to zoom tool (Mac: Cmd+Space)

4. Drag a Box to Zoom to a corner...

and...

5. Boom. Photoshop recenters the current view to the middle of the image.

6. Zoom all the way out. (Cmd+0)

7. Step 3 again...

8. Works as expected.

A first attempt at this ALWAYS zooms/pans to the center.

A second attempt ALWAYS works as expected, by zooming the area selected by zoom tool.

Every.

Single.

Time.

Standard Screen mode.

Mac's non-full-screen mode, but app window expanded to fit monitor.

Tabbed mode.

Illustrator tries to do this too. Use the Zoom Tool as "Zoom to Selection"...which needs a separate keyboard shortcut. Like say, what Freehand had 17 years ago, "Cmd + =".

Stop using ZoomIn / ZoomOut for selection based zooming. It doesn't work and it bad UI/UX to boot.

Hi Curt,

Thanks for the report! There were several snapping-to-center bugs that were addressed in the most recent release of Photoshop and this was thought to have been one of them. Thanks to your report and another one like it I reopened the case and our engineers are looking into it.

Regards,

Hannah

Just spent a couple hours helping a friend with this same issue. The latest 19.1 update did not fix the issue on Windows 10. What we found however was a workaround. The problem does not occur if you set your Windows display scaling back to 100%. It seems when you have the scaling set to say 150%, common on larger displays for easier reading, Photoshop fails to properly figure out the screen size. It acts like it thinks the display is much larger than it actually is and places the image over to the right. Not a perfect solution but it will allow you to keep more hair on your head and not have to roll back to an older version while Adobe figures this out.

Thought I better get this out there in case it helps someone else.

now i am having an issue where when i enter full screen mode, the screen is not actually full, but only a portion of my display. I think this is related to the dpi of my monitor? I have multiple monitors. If I press tab 2x, full screen mode works as it should.

This is only happening when i have multiple monitors active. (one is high DPI, one is 1080p).

Heaven's ta-Betsy, the recent 19.1 update seems to have fixed the issue. Thank you, at long last.

I'm running Photoshop CC on a MacbookPro and have been having this issue. It is super annoying! Is there still no fix or workaround?

Adobe solution logic: the solution is just don't use 2 of 3 screen modes...DUH..

Adobe 'feature' logic: break something for the sake of breaking it, and watch the forums fill with pages of professionals BEGGING for a fix.

More Adobe 'feature' logic: Better pack in more great auto-centering features that can't be disabled.

My logic- rolling back to CS6 and say goodbye to CC rental fees! Tired of you fools breaking software I use for a living, just to add more bloated crap "features".

It's been months to 'fix' something that wasn't broken before. It's clear you don't give a damn.

Participant

Holy crap! When will this get fixed. I did the update not too long after it became available. I discovered this issue and quickly deleted the new version and reinstalled the previous one. After a couple months, I figured it would've been fixed by now, so I reinstalled the new version and... it's still here. Now I get to reinstall the previous version... again.

YEAH! This dives me super mad since the last UPADATE!

Last year i´ve contacted the support for this issue a few times – and it was absolutely NO! help. It was new, and it seams that i am the only one... once the support wants me the reinstall my hole system completely new?! On another side the support said to reinstall PS without all plugins and brushes... what th f**k?! Are you kidding me? What a stupid solution is this! It is like to tell an artist: go home and start from scratch without your casual tools. NO Sir!

"totally uncool!" Instead I am looking for another solution for me – maybe i am going to give AFFINITYPhoto a chance?!

Adobe – I'am a customer and have to say: “shame on you!“
