Window resizes when I open a new file

Hi there! This seems like an easy fix. If I open a new PSD file, the main PSD window resizes to the size of the new document. I like to work with the window pulled all the way out to cover the screen. How do I prevent the window from resizing? Thanks!

Hi Andrew,

If you are on a Mac, you may be talking about the Application Frame, found in the Window menu. If that's not it, we may need a screen shot.

The behavior that the op and the post over at photoshop.com describe should be fixed in both photoshop 2022 (23.1.1) and photoshop 2021 (22.5.5).

If you have different results please post a screencast or screenshots to show what your referring to.

That's actually a bug in photoshop when using Floating Document Windows.

NOT solved, unless you want to use Application Frame. It's a bug that happens to people who don't want to use Application Frame (usually because of the monitor space it covers), so 'use Application Frame' is not a good solution for us.

For those needing a screenshot, see Jeff Arola's comment, or just go to

Adobe still hasn't addressed it.

You can not open a new PSD file. Photoshop is a Document ediror not a file editor. You can open a new document you can savs a PSD file from. You can open an old PSD file into a Photoshop Document.

Now if you want the documents you open New and old alike to fited to the display. You can setup Open and New document event handlers in the Script Event Manager to play an action or run a script that does view fit on screen Shortcut Ctrl+0 or view 100% Ctrl+1

Ok ... symantics. Thanks for the reply, but you know what I mean. If I open an existing PSD file, in Photoshop, and I already have a PSD file open... then the window changes to the dimensions of the new file. Can this be fixed?

Look like your on a mac Window users can not remove or turn off an application window frame. I use windows the platform differences.
