Then, holding down the Shift key moves then by increments of 25 pixels. You can also use the arrow keys to move selections precisely. If the Move Mode is Selection, you can click-and-drag any point in canvas to move the selection outline. If the Move Mode is РІР‚СљLayerРІР‚Сњ, you must hold down Ctrl+ Alt keys.

Then you can move this path by click-and-dragging it (it will be the active path while moving). The mouse pointer turns to a small hand when it goes over a visible path. You also can move the active layer by setting its offset in the Edit Layer Attributes dialog. This may be useful if you want to move a layer with transparent areas, where you can easily pick the wrong layer through these transparent areas. Only the current layer will be moved (if smaller than canvas). This is useful when the guides are used to mark a point, rather than a pair of lines (e.g, as is the case for the mandala symmetry guides, which mark the symmetry point of origin).

Then it is activated and you can move it.Р”Р„t the point of intersection of two guides, you can click-and-drag to move them together. If a guide exists on your image, it will turn to red when the mouse pointer goes over. If the mouse pointer has a small hand shape (showing that you do not pick an element of the active layer), you will move a non-active layer instead (it becomes the active layer while moving). On an image with several layers, the mouse pointer turns to a crosshair when it goes over an element belonging to the current layer.
