100 Manipulating Images

Manipulating a selection

Moving the selection marquee

Sometimes, you need to adjust the position of

the marquee without affecting the underlying

pixels. Any time you're using one of the selection

tools, the cursor over a selected region changes to

the Move Marquee cursor, which lets you drag the

marquee outline to reposition it.

You’re only moving the selection outline—

not the image content inside it.

You can also use the keyboard arrows to "nudge" the selection marquee.

Once you have selected your chosen pixels, the operations which can be

performed include moving, cutting, copying, duplicating, pasting and deleting.

You use the Move Tool to drag the selection plus its image content. (See

Modifying a selection on p. 97).

Using the Move Tool

The Move Tool is for pushing actual pixels

around. With it, you can drag the content of a

selection from one place to another, rather than

just moving the selection outline. To use it, simply

click on the selection and drag to the new location.

The selected part of the image moves also.

If nothing is selected, dragging with the Move Tool moves the entire active

layer. (Or, if the Move Tool's Automatically select layer property is

selected on its context toolbar, the tool moves the first visible item's layer

beneath the move cursor when you click to move.)

When the Move Tool is chosen, you can also use the keyboard arrows to

"nudge" the selection or active layer.
