Workspace Layout in CS5

i have jumped ps 7.1 21st century cs5 extended, , there seem have been changes least. right get-go have problem workspace. when open file image placed in teh centre of screen whatever size. 8 x 10 image has gray space left of it, 5 x 7 has yet more space on left. in photography space instance ruler starts @ -1.5! in essentials starts @ -3.5, , image further right minus 3.5? needs negative space? meanwhile assorted preset panels(?), history, adjustments, actions etc. squished space right. opening of them results in part of image being obscured. why can't have image open hard against left edge, right beside tools, dare it, ps7? way there'd room open of panels without obscuring anything.

 

any enlightenment appreciated

hi david, never fear - there's way there here. 

 

if you'd rather see floating windows you're used to, rather "new" tabbed-view, there's preference that:

 

edit - preferences - interface, uncheck [ ] open documents tabs.

 

regarding desktop layout, can make photoshop main window smaller , drag panels use outside of it.  can keep images separate panels.  assumes have sufficient desktop space (some folks dual monitors improve desktop experience).

 

with above knowledge, fool while, , pop here if there specific things you'd do.  help.

 

have fun!
