You can move an editable area anywhere in an image with or without the image pixels it encloses. When an editable area and the image pixels it encloses are moved together, the pixels can be cut from the image and the hole filled with background color, or the pixels can be copied by floating the editable area.
You can align an editable area to one or more selected objects. You can also align an editable area to the center or the edges of an image. Depending on where you want an editable area to appear, you can experiment with horizontal and vertical alignment options.
An editable area can also be aligned to guidelines and to the grid. For more information, see Using the guidelines, grid, and rulers.
