Elements 12 - Move Tool

I'm trying to use the move tool in Elements 12, however it wont let me as it says layers are locked, any ideas how I can get the move tool to work?

Are you in Expert tab?
What are you attempting to move? From where to where?

    Is their a fix for photoshop elements 11 move tool? Not working with Yosemite OS upgrade.

    Hi,
    We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
    We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
    In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
    1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
    2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
    Plug-in installation instructions:
    1. Close Photoshop Elements
    2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
    3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
    • For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    • For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
    Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
    If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
    Hope this helps!

    I recently upgraded our iMac to Yosemite OS and now have a problem with Photoshop Elements 11:  the move tool selects an image or text layer, but then I try to drag the selection somewhere else on the page and it snaps back to the original location, however the arrows will move it OK.  Also I cannot drag the selection to another photo in the photo bin as before.

  • Some functionality of the move tool stopped working after Photoshop Elements 12.1 update

    After updating to Photoshop Elements 12.1, the move tool can not be used to drag and drop one photo onto another (when more than one photo file is opened).  Please advise.
    Ted

    This is a new bug with the 12.1 update. If you are in 'Tabs' view then dragging from one tab to another does not shift the image focus so you can never drop. A bug report for it has been created at http://feedback.photoshop.com.
    Workaround is to switch to tiled view (Window> Images> Tile in Expert view) and tile your images side-by-side then you can drag and drop.
    Cheers,
    Neale

  • The tools on Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 seemed to have frozen. The crop symbol is 3 of the symbols nest to each other. The hand move tool is not one hand but 3 next to each other. Other tools won't work at all. Really nice!

    Ya, okay ! I use a number of PSE programs, one of which is PSE 9. The tools for some reason seem to have frozen. When I use the move tool I don't get just one hand but 3 hand symbols all next to each other. Same thing with the crop tool, I don't get one symbol but 3 all next to each other. There are a couple of tools that just don't work at all.  It's like the PSE 9 got hit with some virus or sorts. Oh well, live and learn.  Trying to get through to tech service is next to impossible.

    Have you seen this other thread you started about this problem?
    Photoshop Elements 9 is messed up.
    Did you use Barbara's fix?
    It would be less confusing if you only posted this question once, not three times:
    HOW DO I RESET ALL THE TOOLS IN PSE 9 ? THE CURSOR IS REALLY MESSED UP AND DOES NOT WORK WITH THE TOOLS. I TOUCH THE HAND AND I GET 3 HANDS, I TRY TO USE THE CROP AND I GET 3 SMALL CIRCLES.  THE CURSOR IS REALLY MESSED UP. DO I HAVE TO GET ANOTHER PSE 9 ?

  • Photoshop Elements select tool, when targeting layer or multiple layers the layer properties box pops up.  Having to very carefully and repeatedly select and highlight layers to move, or merge when using Move Tool.  Win 8, Adobe 12, Intuos 4 w/ updated dr

    This issue has been going on for several weeks.
    The Move Tool is not functioning properly when selecting and TARGETING a layer or multiple layers, as the Layer Properties box pops up requiring me to close it and try again.
    How to reset or is there an update and fix for this issue.
    Using Win 8, Elements 12, and Intuos 4 Pen and Tablet.

    To reset the tool I suggest click on it once and then look for something like this in the bottom half of your window:
    In the above picture I have marked one section in red box.  You need to click on it to get the option to either reset the only tool you have clicked or to reset all the tools in the editor window.  Of course you have to be in Expert Mode to get this to work.
    Good luck.

  • Purchased Adobe Elements and can't find move tool?

    Your second post is blank. Assuming you bought PSE 12, the move tool is here:
    You need to be in Expert Mode to see the full toolbox. Click the word Expert at the top of the PSE window to go there.

  • Layer palette issue. I choose a layer and when I use move tool on that layer PSCC jumps to another layer

    I am Using Photoshop CC 14.2.1x32. When I choose a layer in the layers palette and then use the move tool to re-position an element on that layer, PS forces a jump to another layer. The only way I can re-position is by using free transform on the layer I want to work on. What is happening with PS CC? Please help. About to dump CC and go back to CS 6

    You might have been able to change the Auto Select option from the default Group to the usually more user friendly Layer.  It's one heck of a useful feature, so get used to using it if you can.  For instance, if you have a lot of layers, it can make it a lot easier just to find a particular layer in the layers panel.

  • Using the content aware move tool, I want to move an item from one image to another image but it does not seem to work. I think I need two layers on one document so how do I do this

    Using the content aware move tool, I want to move an item from one image to another image but it does not seem to work. I think I need two layers on one document so how do I do this

    Good day!
    A simple Paste does not work for you?
    It should place the clipboard content as a new Layer which you can then move around.
    If there is any chance that the elements need to be scaled, rotated etc. I would prefer to place them as Smart Objects (File > Place …) and do the masking that is specific to the images themselves in those.

  • Content aware move tool and recompose do not work.

  • Move tool "Show transform controls" with a type layer

    I just recently figured this "show transform controls" option with the Move Tool and while trying it out, I noticed it works differently with type layers than others.
    On regular bitmap layers it moves, resizes and rotates as supposed, but with type layer it jumps to "free transform" -function when trying to do anything with the transform controls. Causing the tool to drop and the anchor points change place (from text outline to text box?).
    Is this normal behaviour or is there something I don't get?

    Yes, being able to assign shortcuts to UI elements would be a major productivity jump in several cases! I tought that it
    was the advantage of the object-oriented programming, but I my coding abilities stop at "20 go to 10"...

  • In expert mode, using the mover tool, I can not move one picture into another. Need help as I get error message

    I have two pictures in expert mode in editor. I go to "Move tool", click on picture but I am unable to move and drop in second picture. I do not get the dashed lines around the picture, and if I move cursor to
    move picture, I get the following message " This operation cannot be performed on the locked background layer. Do you want to convert the locked background layer into an editable layer?"  I have no idea
    what I need to check or uncheck to make it work.,  I am following a lesson plan in a "Infinite Skills" training course.  I talked to them, but was unable to come up with a answer.  Help, please I have been
    trying to do this move for over a week.  tks  rdf

    We don't know whether this tutorial was written for Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, more specifically for which version of PSE. There are differences. Be sure to have the layers palette open.
    Try this instead
    Open picture B, the one you wish to select something from to add to another picture.
    Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
    Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
    Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
    Use the move tool to position object from picture B.
    In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and object B on a separate layer.
    To unlock the background layer, double click on it in the layers palette. Perhaps your tutorial will  guide you through the process.
