I am using PS CS. I am using the rectangular marquee to make a selection, cutting then pasting it. The problem I’m having is I cannot get the cut selection to paste exactly where it was cut from. Am I missing a setting somewhere or is it just not possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ctrl-J (Layer via Copy) or Shift Ctrl-J (Layer via Cut). Simple pasting always centers the image.

Thanks Ed,

that did the trick. The problem is going to be remembering it.

or you can just drag the layer into the New Layer icon

I don’t think that would work with a selection.
