When moving a selected area, PhotoStudio will create a "floating" selection in the image window. To reposition a selection: 1. Click the Move Tool in the Tools Palette. 2. Click inside the selected area, then drag it to the desired position. Note: 1. The selected area can be repositioned as long as it is "floating" (The selection border is visible). 2. Once a selected area is deselected, its content will become part of the underlying layer and will no longer be movable. 3. Check retain original to keep the original image intact while repositioning the selection. Cutting a Selected Area The Cut command will remove a selected area from an image and place it on the clipboard so it can be pasted back into the image or used by other applications.
