The Move Tool

The Move tool is the simplest transformation tool. Select it by pressing or clicking its icon in the Toolbox. Its icon and pointer are shown in Figure 16-50. Once you select the Move tool, click and drag a layer, selection, or path to move it. In the tool options (see Figure 16-36), you can choose whether to move the active layer, selection, or path, or you can select the object to be moved by clicking it. In the present example, we wanted to move the rose, so we were careful to click a nontransparent pixel so as not to accidentally move the underlying layer instead. If the image has a guide, you can move it if you click close enough to it (the guide turns red). Toggle between the two options by pressing the key.

If a selection exists, but LAYER MOVE mode is active, temporarily shift to SELECTION MOVE mode by pressing before making a move.

Use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move the active layer or path. Each key press moves the layer or path by 1 pixel in the corresponding direction. If you press and hold , each key press moves the layer or path by 50 pixels.
