How to center view in photoshop?

[maksimkuzmin]

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?

no really getting the question? fit in window? will fit the entire document in the window is this is what you are referring to?

I have the same struggle. I have a 200x200 px document and Fit in window fill blow my image. When i use CMD+1 (formely set image as actual size centered in my screen), my image is set to 100% but somewhere random on my screen and have to manually move it to center (and sometime i only see part of it)

Hello, do you mean CTRL+0 or fit on screen?

I am having the same problem. We're not talking about centering the image itself, but the window the image appears in on the screen.

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

Go to Window/Workspace/ an choose Photography

In my case, changing Windows>Workspace to Photography did not keep images resized from 1000mm to 167mm (for example) centered in the PS workspace.
However, the suggestion to uncheck Overscroll (Edit>Preferences>Tools-uncheck Overscroll) worked nicely. Thanks!

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.
