Photoshop CC 2022: How To Turn Overscroll Off & On

This tutorial will show you how to turn off or turn on Overscroll in Adobe Photoshop CC 2022. Overscroll is a setting in Preferences that allows scrolling past the bounds of a window.

Overscroll: Allow for scrolling past the bounds of a window. For example, with the Hand Tool engaged (space bar), you can click on the Canvas and move it all around the User Interface of Photoshop even out of View.

Why You Might Want to Turn off Overscrolling:
When overscroll is turned on, using the Eyedropper Tool to pick colors will move the canvas around when the Eyedropper tool moves and this can be distracting if you paint or use the brush tool and sample color swatches frequently. Turning off Overscroll will lock the Canvas/Document in plac

THANK YOU for the overscroll tip - it's been driving me

[SceneOfAction]

Thank you so much for making this video.

[pragmaticcreator]

Thanks always, sire for giving us the best, succinct and apt tutorials on these software. God bless.

[margelutz]

Thank you SO MUCH for this tutorial. I purchased a new computer about 6 weeks ago and downloaded PS again from Adobe ( a newer version than I have been working with). It has been driving me crazy because the workspace/screen will not remain still. I feel like I am chasing it all over the place. I googled to problem. No luck. I contacted Adobe for help and after 3 hours of chatting with them (several people) still no solution. Today I found you! I never knew what the problem was called. Thank you for making this video! You have brought my blood pressure down, I am sure.

Thanks for this, its a total stupid feature to make default

[samnewcomb]

Thank you for the overscroll advice! That has been so irritating. I can also see where it can be used when sizing/ cropping a photo.

[markbailey]

Bless you! Over scrolling was killing me slowly.

[bradharris]

Thank you SO I am not even needing to know WHY I would like that on.

[michelleyaa]

thank you for this, I've been looking for how to fix this months.

[JazzToTheTwo]

Thank you! i had no idea what this was called and i was going insane

Just realized overscroll (even when turned off) still kinda activates when zoomed in :( I spend most of my time zoomed in on my files and it still kinda moves about unfortinately. Still a helpful video though

[kuyands]

Thank you... I'm struggling with the new photoshop because I am used to the cs6

[HieuJassMelons]

Thank you, I was losing my mind until I learned this.

[AndyHTu]

There's a thing when you overscroll, it kind of slides around, is there a way to turn it off? It doesn't stay still basically...it just floats away.

Adobe did something similar to this with the Premiere Pro timeline a few years ago. If a Magic Mouse was anywhere over the track header, the slightest brush of the mouse would send the track into a sudden, radical height change. All I will say is it is very difficult to keep my creative flow mindset going when every minute of so it happened. It was stunningly bad. I remember feeling angry and frustrated especially since I got nothing out it except constant annoyance. Now, every time I press option and adjust the track height in PPI feel so glad this mouse behavior was changed to know this feature is now convenient because I have control over it. It may have been based on feedback from me and others, but through our feedback and follow up with the PP Product and Community Managers, the feature was changed so that users needed to press the Option Key simultaneously and editors were extremely pleased with that solution. I wonder if the same person /people that who were behind the PP "unleashed, " feature had their hands on this too. Let me know if you have a name of someone to reach out to there I has enough influence as to get it reconsidered, because I am not willing to use the software this way. You might already notice that I feel strongly about this issue. be will actually want to reach out. I find this style of interface. unworkable and as if there aren't enough continual updates and functional hassles and hurdles. Including a user control to either toggle or dynamically switch into over scroll is not too much to ask, and having the option to enable that one little keyboard restraint option would be a way to satisfy everyone.

thank you this as been a nightmare I overhate that I don't understand the meaning of this but now it's gone thanks :D

[aiworkwork-fj]

Thanks a Million, you just saved 2 people from ripping their heads off

[NB_nobody]

This does not help If canvas is zoomed in.

[dancehallkitty]

you saved my sanity... or what is let of it.

[moodyshooty]

both overscroll and flick are extremely bad features that were forced on users and almost no one wants it. to make things better, turning this off does nothing.

[HeShoeTooBig]

Holy Moly. THANK YOU.
I'm coming from CS5 to CC 2024 as of yesterday (lol, I know, i know) and I'm trying to get it back to what I'm used to.
The only reason I even upgraded was because I just got a 4k monitor and CS5 has issues with 4k. The UI is either too tiny or I can fix it, but then the scale of the brushes are all wrong. So here I am, finally up to date, lol.
