How to get filters to center on images

I think we are going to need to see your workflow to understand what is happening.  Can you paste a full screen shot of your full workspace with relevant layers showing, and describe how you are using the halftone filter?

Photoshop has a half tone filter, but I don't recall a half tone 'circle' filter. In any case, if you want to apply a filter to the whole image, the filter should automatically center itself. Some filters (for example, Lens Flare) allow you to click a specific area in the image to indicate where you want it centered. If you want to apply a filter to a specific area of the image, select that area first before applying the filter. 

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. 

Which version of Photoshop do you have? What type of effect are you looking for? 

It would be great if we could see what you're seeing. Please post a screen recording of what's happening, and we will help sort it out. Here are instructions for making a screen recording - https://bit.ly/3Fkf5Vd.

A screenshot or similar result picture will help us understand what you are looking for.

We're here to help, just need more info.

Thanks.
