I don't recall ever being able to double click the Move Tool and get any options.  You sure you're not remembering a different app?
In Photoshop the tool options are up near the top of the main window, in the options area.

  • Using the Move Tool Options

    One of the "features" is that there is now a little black box that states the position (x,y) of the item you are moving. I can appreciate that some may like this but I loathe it. It interferes with "seeing" where I want to put something which I do by eyeball, not by measurement. The black box blocks my view and annoys me very very much. Can I turn this off?

    yes.... as usual it´s in the preferences.
    "show transformation values = never"

  • Move tool issue : Command key + mouse dragging for moving any layer not working in PS CC

    I'm trying to move a layer within the document by holding command key and mouse dragging (mouse cursor not above the layer) is not working at all while using move tool. Suddenly this functionality stopped working. Now I have to place my cursor on layer to be move and drag with mouse. Also pressing command key changing auto select option from layer to group.
    Please help.

    Usually when a tool is not working as expected, a Reset of that tool might be the answer.
    Select the move tool in the toolbox,
    Go to the move tool icon on the top left of the screen (just above the toolbox in its' Option bar) and Ctrl-click on it to get the Reset menu.
    Click on Reset Tool.

  • Move tool misbehaving in photoshop CC 2014

    hello re; Move tool misbehaving in Photoshop. Move tool selected. When I right click to select an individual item it initially does select it, but when I go to drag the item it picks up all the items in the layer folder. I must have changed a setting by mistake. Anyone out there who can help? Thank you

    Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels (Options Bar, Layers Panel, …) visible?

  • 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.

  • Line Segment Tool Options won't allow negative angle

    When you select an object and hit Return to bring up the Move dialog, Illustrator allows you to enter a negative rotation amount in the Angle field (e.g., -30°). This is great. However, when you select the Line Segment tool and click in the drawing area to bring up the Line Segment Tool Options dialog, the same Angle field will only accept positive numbers. Entering a negative value will cause the Angle to be zero. This is sloppy work and so easily fixed. Please change it so you can enter negative numbers in the Line Segment Tool Options dialog like you can in the Move dialog. Also, there should be a preview checkbox in the Line Segment Tool Options.

  • In Photoshop CS6 how do I turn off the move tool popup showing the mouse coordinates?

    I just installed Creative Suite CS6 and in Photoshop, when I use the move tool a small popup window shows the mouse coordinates. I can't see any option to turn this off, either in the Options bar or the Preferences. It's really annoying. Can someone please help?
    Thanks,
    Joanne

    Thank you so much! Sometimes I miss the lack of user manuals but I know it saves trees.

  • Has anyone had any trouble with the Move tool in Photoshop (v14.2.1)? I'm getting a dimmed bounding box akin to the transform bounding box, but this one won't let me apply or escape.

    Having trouble suddenly with the Move tool creating a bounding box that wont let me release it by any means. It remains there no matter what, and now I'm having trouble using the Paste Into command.

    Are you trying to move a background layer by any chance or a layer that is partially locked?? If you have show bounding checked in the option bar you should see the bounding box.

  • Move Tool in CC - Bug Report

    Hello.
    I'm using the Photoshop CC in Windows8 64x as trial and find a curious bug with the Move Tool:
    Usually I select multiple layers creating a selection with the Move Tool on them, but in this new CC version the tool is selecting hidden layers too.
    More details: the hidden layer are inside a folder. The folder is hidden, but the inside layers are not.
    This type of selection has always worked perfectly in previously versions, and of course, I leave the option "Auto Select> Layer" enabled.
    Hope this can help solve this bug.
    *sorry the bad english*

    Thank you , it is an issue that has just been acknowledged by the team.

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

    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!

  • 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.

  • PS CS5 - rounded rectangle and move tool not working..?

    CS5 Photoshop
    I have just noticed that my rounded rectangle tool is not working properly. When I click and drag nothing is visible, when I release it floods my whole image with my selected color. I have tried all of the other tools and they work properly. I have tried restarting, compared settings with other tools, and checked for updates. Nothing is working and any help would be appreciated.
    Also, I have what appears to be a common problem with my move tool. I click, drag, and drop only to have the selected image snap back to its original position. I have an intuos 5 connected, is this the culprit?
    Thanks in advance...

    I can't help with the snap to edge problem, but if you select your rounded rectangle shape tool, and click on the Cog in the Options bar, I suspect you have a fixed size set, and that it is bigger than your canvas.

  • Cannot move New Canvas with move tool

    I am experimenting with putting 2 images side by side into one canvas and in my friend's computer (a Mac laptop), she can move the canvas.  I can't and when I create a new canvas, the 2 images disappear from the layers panel.  We both have CS6 and a Mac, but she has a more recent Operating System.  Also, when I click on the CS6 icon on my desktop, it doesn't have "Open All Windows" as she has.  A total puzzle since we both have Macs and CS6. 
    Thanks.

    Without seeing your screen its hard to determine whats going on. But on a Mac photoshop has the option of having the canvas in its own frame or seperate which allows you to see other apps that are running.
    Normally the move tool does not move the canvas. It will move objects and layers though. The hand tool is used to move the canvas. But only when you are zoomed in beyond 100%.
    If I am miss-interpreting your post, I appologize and will need further information to alter my advice.

  • 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"...
