Mike,

With two images and maybe more on one print page nested, with Optimal first and then to Center the smaller image does not center vertically but sticks to the upper side and with Optimal Spaced to the underside. The same when I start with Center. The first image (Tiff) was nested with Original Sized, the second image (JPEG) specified on the longest dimension fits just vertically in the print page. In the past they would both center vertically and center/distribute horizontally. No Photo Mats used in this case but I think this is related to the new features as I has the same experience some days ago and can not recall that it ever happened in the past.

If I give them the same vertical size they both will center and I can switch several nesting options and both behave as expected. Giving one the Longest Dimension fit and the issue reappears.

Ernst,

The prints have never centered vertically.  I went all the way back to the 2013 editions to be sure I wasn't missing something but the alignment has always been designed this way.  Prints center horizontally but vertically they always align to another print on the page for the purpose of reducing cutting.  Also, you cannot have one print positioned optimally and another positioned vertically as the placement option is job-wide (global) and affects all prints in the job.  Therefore when you switch midstream from optimal to center, the center repositions all prints in the job to the center algorithm.

Regards,
Mike

I am getting old I think. I could have sworn Q behaved like I wrote. But you are right, there is a good reason why it should not.

You and me both my friend.  ;)  I had to go back, test an old version, and read my notes just to remind me why it does that.  And I wrote it.  :)
