How to move images to position in a canvas

April 19, 2008 - 09:56 — robertbruce

Am a newbie to GIMP.

I want to create a web banner. I pasted my company logo into the banner template. It remains centralised. I want the loga at the extreme left side of the banner but cannot find how to move it....!

How do I easily move images around the canvas?

Thanks

did you try that tool that

did you try that tool that has a icon like a cross?
if you double click the icon ta dialogue pop up, with option to use on the active layer .

Anyway after you copy&paste you get not a new layer but something called "floating selection"

to have that on its layer you must add a new layer.

If you instead "anchor" that "floating selection", that will be merged with the image below and not more movable (if not reverting that step with UNdo, if image was not closed )

GIMP Move

Thanks. That's precisely what I HATE about icons. Most of them aren't obvious! Mouse overs don't seem to work in GIMP which doesn't help.

What would be more obvious

What would be more obvious than a tool that looks like the default move cursor of most platforms?
