Manipulating a selection
Moving the selection marquee
Sometimes, you need to adjust the
position of the marquee without affecting
the underlying pixels. Any time you're
using one of the selection tools, the cursor
over a selected region changes to the
Move Marquee cursor, which lets you
drag the marquee outline to reposition it.
You’re only moving the selection
outline—not the image content
inside it.
You can also use the keyboard
arrows to "nudge" the selection
marquee.
Once you have selected your chosen pixels, the operations which can be
performed include moving, cutting, copying, duplicating, pasting and deleting.
You use the Move Tool to drag the selection plus its image content. (See
Modifying a selection on p. 86).
