Moving a selection

You can use the Move tool to move or copy a selection. Follow these steps:

1

Select the area you want to move.

2

Click the Move tool to select it.

3

Position the pointer over the selected area.

4

Drag the selection to reposition it.

If you want to drag a copy of the selection rather than dragging the original,
hold down the Option key while you drag. This causes the area you originally
selected to remain intact after you move the selection.

After you’ve moved the selected area, it remains selected, and you can
perform other operations on it.

5

When you’re satisfied with the appearance of the selected area in its new location, click
outside the area to deselect it.

After you deselect it, the moved area replaces any part of the image that’s
underneath it. If you want to undo a move, you have to choose Undo or press
x-Z before you deselect the area.
