GIMP :: Moving Selected Area Versus Moving Selection / Moving Whole Image

Mar 22, 2012

I 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."

Photoshop :: Copying And Saving A Selection?

Feb 11, 2003

I am trying to save a selection from a photo to open in Dreamweaver. I am able to mask the selection and eliminate the background, but when I open up the image in Dreamweaver I have white where the background was. How do I eliminate everything around my selection to have just the selection appear?

AutoCad 2D :: Coordinate When Moving / Copying

Nov 26, 2012

When moving the cursor over the drawing, it moves freely and the precision of the coordinates are still working to 4 decimal places. However, when I pick an object to move or copy and then try to move or copy it, the coordinate precision settings are changing to 0 decimal places and I'm unable to move things to exactly where I want - I can only move on a mm by mm basis. How do I return the precision settings of the coordinates back to 4 decimal places so I can move / copy objects without the current constraint I'm experiencing?

Lightroom :: Copying / Moving From One Catalogue To Another?

Jan 12, 2013

I have two very large LR4 catalogues.  I would like to copy about a dozen photos (each with extensive adjustments) from one catalogue to another.  Is there a way to do that without having to export/import the entire catalogue?

Photoshop :: Copying A Selection In Flattened SRGB Image

Feb 3, 2012

I've noticed a problem with my Photoshop CS5 (12.0.4) / Windows 7 64-bit setup. Maybe once a day, after using Photoshop for a while, the current document's colours will look like they're using the wrong colour space, usually looking more vivid and artificial. The only way out of the situation is to restart Photoshop.
 
Example 1: after editing an image in AdobeRGB, I flatten it and run an action to resize, sharpen, and convert to sRGB. Occasionally, the picture ends up looking psychedelic.
 
Example 2: after copying a selection in a flattened sRGB image, I create a new sRGB image and paste. Occasionally, the new image is clearly off, still similar hues but changed in tone and saturation; going back to the original window, there is visual corruption.
 
I've got an ATI HD5670 graphics card, and have gone through maybe 3 driver revisions while this problem has existed. It's too infrequent a problem to easily replicate, and what I usually do is save and earlier state as a PSD and reload Photoshop.

Photoshop :: No Selection Dialog When Copying Shape From Illustrator To CS5

Nov 17, 2012

I try to copy+paste a shape from Illustrator CS5 to Photoshop CS5 (Windows). My goal is to recieve a shape layer I can use in photoshop. But it just copies it as a VectorSmartObject and I can't convert it to a shape layer. I read, that "normaly" or at least in the Mac version a dialog box should appear, which let's you choose how you want to paste it in ( SmartObject/ShapeLayer/...). This doesn't happen. Is thia bug?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Copying / Moving Dynamic Blocks

Jan 22, 2013

My company just upgraded to 2013 from 2012, and we are having problems copying and moving dynamic blocks.  As we try to re-insert the object(s) after using the copy or move command, they disappear from the screen.  If we save the drawing and restart AutoCAD, the objects are there where we inserted them, but we cannot figure out how to make the objects reappear without restarting the program (Undo does not work).

The objects in question are dynamic blocks created with AutoCAD Civil3D 2012.  We suspect this might have something to do with conflicts between the two different versions of AutoCAD but we're not sure.  There are 5 or 6 of us who have this problem.

AutoCad 2D :: Active Coordinate Display When Moving Or Copying?

Jan 31, 2014

When I move or copy an object, it'll show the coordinate distance as you move your mouse. The issue is, the coordinate bounces between the nominal distance based on the units, such as 2' - 7 29/32". Then it will change to some extreme number, such as 2.784807E+01. My first assumption is that the mouse cursor is getting off alignment with the relative start location, or some extreme Object Snapping is going on (OSnap on/off still does the same thing).

Photoshop :: Copying Two Layers Through Same Selection Mask Produces Different Dimensions On New File

Oct 29, 2013

I'm creating an animation in AE eventually but initially have two hand drawn images of the same object that I've scanned into PS.
 
I have a single mask created that I turn into a selection to copy the two images to output as new single files to then import as 2 frame png sequence into AE.
 
Normally, and this is critical, the dimension of the new files would/should be exactly the same. But they're not! How is this possible, the selection is the same for both layers.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Moving / Copying Cross Section Styles

Feb 28, 2012

my issue is I have created a style for cross sections that work well in one drawing, and need to copy them to our template. I have been able to copy the styles for the section view, section plot, and some section labels that I needed. However, I cannot find out how to copy over the style that labels my corridor section in the cross section view. When I go to look at what type of object style it is, all I get is a "Obect Style" dialog box. I have been trying to open every setting to find it and have had no luck. I have attached three screen shots. The first is what I want the cross-section to look like, the second is what it currently looks like in the template, and the third is the dialog box I am getting.

AutoCAD LT :: Text Changing To Bold When Copying / Pasting Moving And Stretching

Sep 10, 2012

I am in AutoCAD LT 2008.  Within the last few months I have noticed that some of my text is changing from a regular font style to bold when being copied/pasted, moving, and/or stretching.  This is also happening with the text in my dimension style.  When I check properties, nothing has changed from one text's set of properties to the other.  I have not changed any settings that I am aware of since this started happening.  In some cases if I paste with a base point, then paste I can avoid this, but not in all cases.  I have also opened the text boxes to verify that the bold button did not get activated. This is a very annoying problem and if I don't catch all the text that has been affected it makes drawings look inconsistent.

Lightroom :: Moving Versus Copying Image Files To External Disk

Oct 29, 2011

I'm going to move my image library, catalog and ACR cache to an external drive so that I can work with a consistent set of files and edits on multiple computers. I know what I need to do to move the catalog, and I know how to move the image files to the new drive so that LR is aware of the move.
 
But what I'd really like to do is copy the image files to the new drive while leaving the existing images on the internal drive as a backup. As far as I can tell, LR doesn't support copying of images within the program. If I copy the files outside of LR, without deleting the originals, LR is going to conitinue to point to the orignal files on the internal disk.
 
So, if I right click on a folder in the Library module folder tree, there's an option to Update Folder Location, and this seems to do what I need it to do, although I've only tried it on a single folder. Will Update Folder Location work to relink an entire folder tree in one operation?
 
One related question:  Where does LR store it's preferences? One of the catalog specific preferences is Standard Preview Size.  My desktop has much higher res monitors than my laptop, so if this setting is stored in the catalog then I'll have to pick one value for both computers. I'm thinking it would be better to use the larger value, for the desktop, but I'm not sure how that will play on the laptop. (It would be nice if this were computer specific, rather than catalog specific.)

Photoshop :: Moving A Selection

Dec 17, 2005

I am retouching a photo... i'm have selected one person in a group and wanted to move her closer to the group, but when I do that, there is a hole you can see through left behind. 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.

Photoshop :: Moving Just A Selection

Dec 19, 2006

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.

Photoshop :: Moving A Selection Of A Type Layer

Apr 1, 2005

I've got a type layer, and I want to move a certain selection of type, but it seems to only want to move the entire layer. Here's what I've got:

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.

Photoshop :: Moving A Selection A Specific Point

Apr 27, 2009

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)

GIMP :: Moving Selection Contents

Dec 27, 2013

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.

GIMP :: Moving A Selection From One Image To Another

Jan 29, 2014

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?

Paint.NET :: Moving Selection Tools

May 8, 2012

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?

GIMP :: Moving A Selection With Lots Of Layers

Dec 10, 2013

I 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?

Photoshop :: Why Vector Selection Tool (white Arrow) Change Layer Selection To Another

Sep 1, 2013

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.
 
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.
 
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?
