Dragging objects from one place to another is one of the basic elements of working in Photoshop. It is not difficult to master it, because it implies manipulation with just one tool and a couple of buttons, but first you need to find out where they are.
Instructions
Step 1
Launch Adobe Photoshop (the author uses the Russian version of CS5) and open any two images: "File"> "Open"> select the required files> "Open".
Step 2
To make it more convenient to drag an image or some part of it from one place to another, you can place windows with pictures in several different ways. Click Window in the main menu and then Arrange. In the menu that appears, you will see three options:
1. "Cascade" - the pictures will be arranged one after another so that the user can read the names and click on the pictures behind. Access to this option is not available if images are already located in the third method - on tabs. 2. "Mosaic" - each picture will occupy the same place on the workspace. 3. "Combine all on tabs" - all pictures will be embedded in one window, and movement between them will be carried out through the tabs.
Step 3
Select Move from the toolbar. It is located at the very top and has an arrow and a cross icon. Click on the image (no matter where) with the left mouse button and move it to another using the drag-n-drop method.
Step 4
If the images are cascading (first option), make sure the image you are about to drag does not obscure its destination. If obstructing, move the windows so that at least the edge of the second picture is visible.
Step 5
If all the pictures are in one window (the third option), then it is not necessary to arrange them in a different way to drag and drop. Move the image first to the tab of the final image, and when it is activated, to the image itself.
Step 6
To move not the whole image, but only a part, it must first be cut out. Use the Lasso, Rectangular Marquee and Pen tools for this. If you right-click on each of them, you can see variations of these tools that you can also use.
