Photoshop workspace automatically resizes the workspace window when opening files

Hello All,

I am having an issue with the workspace/interface. I recently upgraded to v19.1.6 last week, and I have been experiencing that whenever I open a file to work on the workspace window will automatically resize from a full screen to a smaller size. It is becoming very frustrating because there are, seemingly, no options to stop or prevent this from happening every time I open a file. It whether or not if there are other tabs open.

(I am working on a Dual Screen setup, iMac Pro 2017 OS v10.13.6, and PS CC 2018 v19.1.6)

Thank you

Ira

Thanks Sara, I know. But I don't want to use the application frame.

I want to use the windows normally (as it as always been the case) and not have them to resize every time a new file is opened. This was the behaviour of Photoshop up to a few versions ago.

Same here. I hate using the application frame and until the last few versions of PS, whenever I opened a new image, the window wouldn't resize. It's so frustrating.

Uncheck preferences/interface/open documents as tabs

That's a good workaround:) I do think it's 'preference/workspace/open document…' however.

Thanks for the tip!:)

I just updated it to 2023 and it turned into a new problem for me...

 

Turning on Window > Application Frame fixed this for me... ðŸ™‚
