1 Natural Selection: The Fundamentals
Hi ... very new to this, so please excuse my ignorance. Have just taken a look at the first tutorial and have completely bamboozled myself already !!! When trying to drag a selected area, I am only moving what appears to be either the dotted lines, or a shaded area - I have tried to hold the appropriate buttons as indicated in instruction number 7, but the actual hub cap is most definitely not moving - what am I doing wrong? I am using a Mac if that changes anything? Cheers. Emma.  |

Hi Emma Once the selection is made, select the move tool and the content within the selection will move too. If you copy the selection to a new layer (CTRL J), then the background, or donor layer will remain intact Once the selected area is on its own layer, you can move it around by dragging within the selected area. Care not to move the central rotational point. If you hold down ALT with move selected, you can quickly make multiple copies and place them into position as you create them. Nick |
