I cannot imagine a more newbie-ish question, but I must be missing something rather basic.
I have a simple jpeg image (no layers). I simply want to select an area of that image and drag it elsewhere in the image.
In Microsoft Paint, I simply define the area with a rectangular or freeform selection tool, and drag it with the mouse.
In Photoshop Elements, I seem to be able to drag the dotted line selection outline (defined via the lasso or move tool), but the image itself that was lassoed stays put.
If I use the move tool, I can distort the image by dragging an edge of the selection outline, but I have not figured out how to drag the entire selection at once. If I drag from within the selected area, only the selection outline moves, not the selected portion of the image. What am I missing?
