Moving a Pasted Object - Ditto Butters - 01-12-2024
HI, I think I used to be able to paste an image - be it a copy of another open image in GIMP or from a Windoze snip and then immediately move it around. I'm no longer able to do so and find it very frustrating. Can anyone help, please?
The forum won't let me post images despite allowing me to paste them in, I hope I can describe what is happening. I'm using GIMP 2.10.36 on Win 10.
1) I create a new image
2) I then open another image (or copy to my clipboard from another source):
3) I Control C the above and then paste in the new image. Dang if I can't move it at all. All I get is the cross hair with a crossed circle?. How am I messing this up?
Thanks so much.

Everybody can post images. The only restrictions are a 500K size limit for most image types (except XCF: 2MB), which is more than enough for decent screenshot, and a maximum of 5 attachments per post.
If the Move tool in "Move layer" mode?
