Slection tools – Move
Shortcut – V
The Move tool moves selections, layers, and guides.
The move tool allows you to move a selection or entire layer by dragging it with your mouse or using your keyboard arrows keys.
When the move tool is selected, click and drag anywhere in the imag or use your arrow keys to move the selection or layer in small increments. Hold down the Shift key to move in larger increments.
You can activate the move tool when another tool is selected by holding down the Ctrl key.
Photoshop will not allow you to move an empty selection. Selections can quickly be filled with the foreground color by tapping alt+backspace and then the selection can be moved about the canvas. Pressing delete will remove the filling.
Move a selection.
Select the part you want to move.
Then click the move tool and position the pointer within the selection. Notice that the pointer becomes an arrow with a pair of scissors. This means that dragging the selection will cut it from its present location and move it to the new location.
