Trying to move a layer - Nash - 08-04-2022
When I select a layer to move with the mouse. And when I left click with the mouse it selects my base layer. I can't move the layer I wish to. If I select a different layer to move, its switch's again to my base. Can you help? New to Gimp and editing software.
Thanks, Nash

In the move options do you have pick a layer or guide selected?

If you want to move a layer, click on an opaque part of the layer. By default the Move tool moves the first layer that isn't transparent where you click.
