Moving selections

You can move both path-based and pixel-based selections to a new location on the canvas.

To move a selection

For a selection made by using the Selection Adjuster tool

, choose the Transform tool

from the toolbox.

If the Transform tool is not displayed in the toolbox, click and hold the Layer Adjuster tool

to open the flyout, and then choose the Transform tool

On the property bar, click the Move button

While staying within the bounding box, click the selection, and then drag it to a new position on the canvas.

To display the layers in full-color before committing the transformation, click the Fast Preview button on the property bar.

On the property bar, click the Commit Transformation button

If you prefer, you can apply the transformation by pressing Enter.

You can move a pixel-based selection with the Transform tool ; however, if a portion of the selection moves off the canvas, it is subtracted from the selection.

To reposition a selection, use the Move tool, and drag the selection to a new position. A rectangular marquee appears while you are dragging the selection.
