Move Tool tutorial in Photoshop

The Move Tool is used to reposition a selection or layer. It is useful after adding text, shapes or another image when the new content needs to be aligned or moved to a different position.

Select the Move Tool

The Move Tool is located near the selection tools. It can drag selected content or a layer to a new location and can also help align layers.
