Move Tool

Use the Move tool to resize, reshape, and reposition the element on the image. When the cursor is positioned inside the Preview window and the Move tool is selected, a wireframe with eight handles, or hot spots, along the perimeter of the frame is displayed. These perimeter handles allow you to resize the element on the image. Two other hot spots, one inside the wireframe box and the other outside it, allow you to position and rotate the frame.As you pass the Move tool over the ten hot spots, the cursor changes shape to indicate the type of movement that will be applied when you click and drag from that spot.

The side handles (top, bottom, left, right) resize the element from their respective side in any direction. Using the side handles will change the proportions of the element.
The corner handles resize the image from their respective corner in any direction. Resizing with the corner handles will maintain the aspect ratio of the element/image.
The outside pointer allows you to rotate the frame. Simply position the move tool near a corner. When the cursor changes to the rotate cursor click and drag to rotate.
Clicking and dragging inside the box will allow you to change the position of the element.
