Move Tool (Video Included)

• In the Toolbox, select the Move Tool
• To move a layer* while no image area is selected, hold down the left mouse button, drag and drop it (release the button).
• To move a layer while some image area is selected**, put the Move Tool outside the selection, then drag and drop.
• To move a selected area put the Move Tool inside the selection, then drag and drop.
• While the Move Tool is active, you can precisely move the selected area or layer (if none is selected) using the keyboard cursor keys.
• To constrain movement (to move an object strictly horizontally or vertically) hold down [Shift] key while moving.
• To duplicate a layer drag it with the Move Tool holding down [Alt] key.
• To duplicate a selected area click on it with the Move Tool and drag it holding down [Alt] key.
• After you've moved / duplicated the selection, the Move Tool moves / duplicates the selected area (not the entire layer), no matter where the cursor is (movie).
• Right-click click with the Move Tool on the image; there appears a list of all layers that are not empty in this spot. Click on a layer name to select it.

NB If you find this description too complex, do not use any keys; just drag and drop.
