Hi @MonicaL00,
Thank you for the feedback! I completely understand the need for these features so I'll be sure to pass your ideas along to the appropriate channel. I'd like to share an article that might assist as far as placement of images. See guide: Moving from the Second-Generation Editor to the Third-Generation Editor.
There is now a feature to align images as well, including center align.
At this time now, the way to access the 2nd generation editor is to make a copy of an email that was originally created with that editor. You would be able to access it with a new template, as they are formatted to be edited only with the 3rd generation editor.
Please let us know if there is any other way we can help!
