duke Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I'm having trouble moving a selection. I'm zoomed in on an image and have copied and pasted part of another image into the image. I can't move the selection. Both selection tools will on resize the selection, not move it. Is there a trick to this? Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Hi Chris, Once you have a selection defined, hit M on the keyboard to activate the Move Tool . The Move Tool is different from the Move Selection Tool which changes the focus of the selection area from one set of pixels to another. It sounds like you have the latter tool selected. If I'm wrong please provide a screenshot of what you're trying to do and we'll take it from there. Welcome to the forum!

I've found I can move a selection when unzoomed so I tried a few tests and I can't seem to move any selections when zoomed in > 1000% (I'm working on a 16x16 icon, hence the high zoom). I'm using v3.36 so I'll try upgrading to the latest to see if it's a bug specific to that version. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
