Hello To move the selection you have to "accept" it first, this is done by pressing the enter key once your selection is done. After that you have two choices. To move the selection (or more precisely it's contents) hold alt+control and drag the selection. To copy the selection use alt+shift. Not

It is the PSD format problem. GIMP uses XCF as it's native format and it is the only format which supports ALL gimp's features. You should always save your images as XCF to avoid any data loss (such as text formatting, composition modes and so). If you need to reuse the image in PS afterwards you s
