Re: [Gimp-user] moving parf of an image

[akovia <akovia1 eml cc>]

What is easier than cut and paste? I'm not sure I can envision anything
simpler.

The one thing I do is anchor the floating selection on a separate new
layer by hitting the new layer button. Then I can move it around and
modify it at will without committing it back to the original layer. When
I'm happy with it, I could either flatten the image, or just merge down,
but usually I just leave it on it's own layer and export in the format I
want so I can go back and make changes later if I like inside the xcf.
