There are a few ways to crop an image in Photoshop, and depending on which way you choose, you may not run into this problem. But here are three examples of when you definitely will.<\/p>\n<h3>Example 1: Cropping with the Rectangular Marquee Tool<\/h3>\n<p>The official way to crop an image in Photoshop is with the <a href=\"\/basics\/how-to-crop-images-photoshop-cc\/\" title=\"Learn how to crop images with the Crop Tool\">Crop Tool<\/a> which we\u2019ll come back to in a moment. But many people find it easier to crop images with the <a href=\"\/basics\/photoshop-selection-basics-the-rectangular-and-elliptical-marquee-tools\/\" title=\"How to draw selections with the Marquee Tools in Photoshop\">Rectangular Marquee Tool<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>So I\u2019ll select the Rectangular Marquee Tool from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.photoshopessentials.com\/newsite\/basics\/photoshop-tools-toolbar-overview\/\" title=\"Learn more about Photoshop's tools and toolbar\">toolbar<\/a>.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/center-cropped-images\/select-rectangular-marquee-tool.png\" alt=\"Selecting the Rectangular Marquee Tool from Photoshop's toolbar.\" width=\"164\" height=\"238\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Selecting the Rectangular Marquee Tool.<\/div>\n<p>Then I\u2019ll drag out a selection outline around the part of the image I want to keep.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/center-cropped-images\/drag-rectangular-selection-outline.jpg\" alt=\"Drawing a rectangular selection outline.\" width=\"800\" height=\"547\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Drawing a rectangular selection outline.<\/div>\n<p>To crop the image, I\u2019ll go up to the <strong>Image<\/strong> menu in the Menu Bar and choose <strong>Crop<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/center-cropped-images\/image-crop.png\" alt=\"Selecting the Crop command from the Image menu in Photoshop.\" width=\"387\" height=\"382\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Going to Image &gt; Crop.<\/div>\n<p>But instead of centering the cropped image, Photoshop snaps it into the upper left of the screen.

The reason is because of a feature called <strong>Overscroll<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Overscroll lets you scroll an image around on your screen even when you are already zoomed out far enough to view the entire image. The idea is that you may still find it easier to inspect different areas, or to work on an area that\u2019s in a corner or along the side, if you can drag that part of the image into the center of your screen.<\/p>\n<p>I cover Overscroll in more detail in my complete <a href=\"\/basics\/photoshop-zoom\/\" title=\"Learn how to zoom and scroll images in Photoshop\">How to Zoom Images in Photoshop<\/a> tutorial.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"sub\">The solution: Turn Overscroll off<\/h2>\n<p>Overscroll is turned on by default. But if it\u2019s not a feature you care about, you can fix the problem of Photoshop not centering images after cropping them by turning Overscroll off. And here\u2019s how to do it.<\/p>\n<p>On a Windows PC (which is what I\u2019m using), go up to the <strong>Edit<\/strong> menu. On a Mac, go up to the <strong>Photoshop<\/strong> menu.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/center-cropped-images\/edit-menu-photoshop.png\" alt=\"Going up to the Edit menu in Photoshop.\" width=\"494\" height=\"165\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Go to Edit (Win) \/ Photoshop (Mac).<\/div>\n<p>From there, choose <strong>Preferences<\/strong> and then <strong>Tools<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/center-cropped-images\/photoshop-tools-preferences.png\" alt=\"Opening the Tools preferences in Photoshop.\" width=\"500\" height=\"415\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Going to Preferences &gt; Tools.<\/div>\n<p>In the Preferences dialog box, look for the <strong>Overscroll<\/strong> option and uncheck it to turn it off. Then click OK to accept it and close the dialog box.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/center-cropped-images\/turn-overscroll-off-photoshop.png\" alt=\"Turning off Overscroll in Photoshop.\" width=\"604\" height=\"331\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Unchecking the Overscroll option.<\/div>\n<p>That\u2019s all there is to it! The next time you crop an image, either with the Rectangular Marquee Tool or with the Crop Tool set to Classic Mode, the cropped image will remain centered on your screen.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/center-cropped-images\/image-centered-after-crop-photoshop.jpg\" alt=\"The cropped image remains centered with Overscroll turned off.\" width=\"806\" height=\"458\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The cropped image remains centered with Overscroll turned off.<\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-bottom { width:300px; padding-top:16px;padding-bottom:16px; }\n<\/style><div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- 300x250 page bottom responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ads-bottom\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2879809098\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"\n\t data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>And there we have it!
