Moving a selected area on a layer

I have been trying to move part of a layer's content using a selection. So far I have had no luck in doing that. It always seems to move everything on the layer regardless of what is selected and what is not. Am I doing something wrong? I'm getting pretty good workig with the selection tool and all its variations, that is not a problem. So the question is: How do I move or scale only one selected portion of a layer's contents?

Hi Pauljs, when you create a selection on the layer, either select the "Transform tool" in the Tools panel or hit the "T" shortcut. The transformation will be applied to the selection - you can scale, move, rotate the selected area now: [img]https://www.escapemotions.com/community/uploads/posts/2020/06/Screenshot 2020-06-03 at 14.50.49.png[/img] Is everything working well?
