You may need to turn up the sound on this one. The instructor runs through this pretty quick but it was useful to watch.

How many times have you selected something and then when you go to move it you end up moving the entire image? It is because you are in the wrong layer and you are moving a layer. But by following info you can use ctrl+alt to move just the selection. Try it out!

Moving a selection

The Move tool allows to move the selection outline only. If the Move Mode is "Layer", you must hold down Ctrl+Alt keys. If the Move Mode is Selection, you can click-and-drag any point in canvas to move the selection outline.

Tip: When moving text be sure to click on one of the letters and drag. If you click somewhere other than a letter you will move the entire layer.
