View 4 RepliesI want to select part of an image with just one layer. Say I just flattened the image and have to move one part of. I select it with the rectangular select tool. It seems intuitive that I could then just move what I selected, but when I drag the selection, the selection itself moves without moving what is inside the selection.
If I then remember to click the move tool and try to move what's in the selection (seems to work sometimes, maybe when there's multiple layers?) the entire image moves.
The only way I can move part of the image over is if I make a selection and then cut it (ctrl X) then paste it.
How am I supposed to move part of the flattened image, is there a way I can set it to default to "When I select something, I can immediately drag that selected area around."
i want to select a piece of text and rotate it. anybody have ideas or suggestions on how to do this without having to rotate the whole canvas?

When i try to rotate the pline around a point it seems that some edges are locked?Â
Even if I copy this pline in an empty area alone and try to rotate it again i get the same resulsts.i tried the move comand with a vertex as a base and the same reults.
I do not know where the edges are locked .
why I can't stroke a selection after rotating it? The steps to reproduce this problem are simple:
1. Make any selection (e.g. a rectangle)
2. Click "Edit", and note that "Stroke selection" is not greyed out
3. Use the "rotate" tool on the selection. Click the selection, and specify any angle.
4. After the selection has been rotated, click "Edit" again, and note that "Stroke selection" is greyed out and unusable.
I'm using Gimp 2.8.4.
Since I'm having so much luck already today, figured I'd post one more question. I have a camera and trackers imported from synth eyes into aciton. I used the paint node to create 1 clean plate and froze it with a mux. Now I need to combine the clean plate in action. Usually I've been trying to line up the clean frame manually to the synth eyes camera in action but it's all eyeball and no precision. Is there a smarter more precise way to align the clean frame?

That obviously isn't going to work. I think I remember trying to do this and there isn't a hole left behind.
How can a move a selection and just have the background left behind... I wouldn't even mind moving her closer and having a double image... I could clone out the image I didn't want.
I have a picture of a horse on a white background in psd format which I want to drag into another psd image.
When I make the selection of the horse, then drag it into the other image it comes in o/k but still has a faint white replica of its original background.
I've used the Pen tool and got it down pretty quickly, and made a selection (of Roger Federer). I cut it out and saved it on its own layer. Then I did the same for the chair he was in. I just tossed the leftover background. Then I cut and paste (not very accurately) a Christmas tree into a new background layer. Then of course, I inserted myself into the scene (even using the previously made path/selection) and here's where the trouble is...
I needed to adjust the position of "me" to fit the scene scale -position & size wise- with Roger and the chair.
How do I move, transform, and tweak my selections? I don't want the other layers to move too. I just want to move what I select and then change it's size.
trying to copy a selection and paste it into another layer, but no matter what i do it slightly shifts. I need it to be in exactly the same place as the original, only on another layer.Â

I want to move the "Web Developer" type so that it's centered under "Gibran Shah". I'm using the Rectangular Marquee Tool to form a rectangle around "Web Developer" and then the Move Tool to move it. When I move it, it moves the entire type layer. How do I get it to move only the selected region.
I need to move areas of an image that I have selected using the unit of points. For example, I get corrections in our copy where I need to move certain parts of the image 8 points up or over 3 points.
I can use the measurement tool to meausure the distance but then it disappears when I try to actually move the selection. The same thing happens when I try to use guides to mark the area. I wish I could just set Photoshop to "nudge" in points instead of pixels. Is there any way to make this easier? (Photoshop CS4 version 11)
I am using GIMP 2.8 on a MacBookPro with OSX 10.8.
I want to cut and move a selection (and, if at all possible, preserve and then enlarge the selection rectangle to perform a subsequent cut and move operation.)
I've got a graphic, let's say it's a 10x10 pixel square in black. What I want to do is to add a vertical column of white pixels in between every existing column of the image.
What I thought to do is the following: first, enlarge the canvas to twice the width of the image, so 20Wx10T (original image on left, blank extension on right). Now select the rightmost column of pixels and move the contents of the selection one pixel to the right. Extend the left edge of the selection rectangle 2 pixels to the left, to include the newly "blank" column and the next column of the image. Move new selection and contents one pixel to the right, and so on, until the expanded canvas is filled and there are 'blank' columns between every column of pixels in the original image.
However, I am unable to find a way to move the selection and its contents. I've tried every combination of secret handshake I can think of, but none work. I'm able to move the selection and essentially duplicate it in another location, but not by cutting it and moving it somewhere else, leaving the initially selected area blank.
I need to assemble multiple images in an illustration program (inkscape or illustrator for example). So I want to cut and paste several regions from different images, but I want them to all be exactly the same size. What I had been doing in photoshop was just dragging the selection from one open image to the other and that would preserve the size so I could copy again, but that doesn't seem to work in GIMP, or rather, nothing I tried seems to work.
How can I get a selection to be identically sized between different images without actually moving any part of the image itself?
1) I open up a large image as background.
2) I add a new layer, then import a smaller image into that layer.
3) I try to select and move the smaller image so that it's positioned where I want it, but despite seeing the "nodes" on the side and corners and trying every possible combination of blue arrow/white arrow/shift etc., all I seem to be able to move across the canvas is the transparent box created by the nodes. In other words, I'm moving the box that contains the image, but apparently not the image itself.
Might this have anything to do with one image being a .pdn and the other being a .png?
When I enter text into an image, the letters are surrounded by the moving selection dashes, the font colour is not there, the image turns a strange red colour and I cannot get rid of the selection dashes.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just started using GIMP the other day, and it's great; I've already gotten the hang of layers and moving stuff around! But sometimes, after I put together a part of an image using multiple layers, I'd like to move that part somewhere else to give me more room or to put it next to something else. Is there a way to do this without going through each of the layers, selecting the part, and moving the part to its destination layer by layer?

I want to preserve the existing background color, I don't want it to become transparent.
I have been continually annoyed, when creating a vector mask-heavy document, with trying to select vector mask points by dragging a rectangle only to find that it instead selects a layer higher up which has a larger vector mask.
Â
The only workaround is to manually select the points of my mask or to drag a rectangle from outside the canvas, meaning I have to zoom out or scroll to the edge - sometimes annoying if I am zoomed in quite far.
Â
I know that the move tool can be set to automatically select a layer, depending on what part of the image is clicked, but why is there not an option to turn this off for vector editing?
If you look closely in the attached picture, there is a spot of light blue on the player's helmet, that looks like a mistake (think it should look like the grass behind it)...though it actually may be part of his helmet.
Â
Regardless, I'd like to take it out. My idea was to select the blue with the quick selection tool, then bring that selection out to the grass, select the grass with that size/shape of selection, copy/paste and then bring the grass selection into the blue part so it looks like grass in what was the blue part.
Â
The problem is I don't seem to be able to move the selection without taking the blue with it (so it's not an empty selection and therefore can't select a piece of the grass.)
I have Photoshop CS5 on a Mac OS 10.7.4 My problem is that when I am using curves or a slider, my selection does not stay in the same place. For example, I chose the number 8 on a slider, after I release my selection it will either go one number after or before my selected number. I have had this problem since I got my computer, December 2011, but it has only recently started to frustrated me because of having to use Photoshop a little more than I usually do.
View 2 Replies View Relatedhow to "drop out" the background from this photo (I have loads to do which are very similar). Thus far I have tried channel selections and the calculations tool + all the normal quick selection tools and I just cant get it to work without spending hours adjusting things. The end effect I need to achieve is a perfect white background without loosing any of the detail if possible. On a side note I have also tried taking the photo on blue, green, black and white backgrounds but due to the number of colours present in the products its just not working for me.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to cut a person out of a picture with a deatiled background so I am using the quickmask selection and paint brush. I'm done selecting the person and have gone back into normal editing mode. I then inversed the selection created within quickmask to select everything but the person in the background. When I click delete, the background vanishes and the person become opaque.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIf I have mad a selection with say an ellipse marque, of say 100px and now I want to fether that same selection outwards, ie to start the feather 10 px outward of the 100px selection so that the 100th px has a 100% transparency and the 110th px has a transparency of zero,thus making the new selection 110px, how could I go about doing it. With the current feathering of the selection, it feathers only in the marquee already selected, not outward, and you cannot place negative feathering px. I know that there is most likely some sort of a ration where you would expand the selection by a certain amount of px, and then apply a ratio of feathering to it to enalble it to feather outside of the 100px marquee.
