I have been resizing images using the Image > Image Size command for many years in Photoshop. Until this new 2022 version (23.0.0), the image has always remained centered in the workspace after resizing.
With this new version, the image resizes and gets located to the upper left corner of the original image perimeter coordinates (hopefully that makes sense). I now have to use Ctrl + 0 to recenter the image. An extra step that becomes a waste of time when you are resizing many images in a day.
Is there a setting somewhere that will return Photoshop 2022 to the prior behavior?
Note - This is on a Windows 10 machine at work. I have not yet tried it on my iMac at home running macOS Big Sur, but will tonight. I have already cleared preferences, tried the 'Disable Native Canvas' as well as deselecting 'Enable Native Canvas Rulers'.
Any insight is welcome as this new behavior is not ideal for someone who uses Photoshop daily to edit images for use in InDesign and Illustrator documents.

In photoshop go to Edit>Preferences>Tools and uncheck Overscroll and see if that corrects the issue.

Thank you, Sir!
That returned the old behavior.
Note - forgot to hit 'Post' button after selecting 'Correct Answer'.

I have Photoshop 22 version. Earlier today I resized an image to 16 x 8 and then re-sized the canvas to 18 x 12. Worked perfect! Now I'm going through the same drill (same photo) and NO MATTER WHAT I DO, the photo is off-center. There's about twice as much space on the top (compared to the bottom) and about twice as much space on the left (compared to theright). In the window I typed 2 in the width and 4 in the height with Relative checked, and yes, it is centered. I have wasted an hour trying to figure this out when it worked earlier the very first time I tried it. No, unchecking Overscroll button did not help, and I have not done anything different or closed out of Photoshop or ran any updates since doing this the first time. Thank you! Diane

This did not work.
I open images or a new file and they all show up in the upper left hand corner.

The reason is you don't have the Tools panel and Tools Options Bar docked
You could reset your Workspace by going to Window>Workspace >Reset (name of Workspace)
or dock the Tools panel and Tools Options Bar by dragging up or to the left side until you see a blue line the release your mouse (trackpad) button.
The only way to center the images upon opening is to use Tabbed Document Windows instead of Floating Document Windows.
Go to Photoshop 2025>Settings>Workspace and check Open Documents as Tabs.
