How to Move Stuff With GIMP
Gimp, the Gnu Image Manipulation Program, is an open source image program for the Linux, Mac and Windows operating systems. It can be used to create new images or to retouch and restore photos. When you are creating or editing an image, you may want to move objects around. The "Move" tool allows you to use your mouse and drag the objects to the preferred location. You can select a portion of an image and move it, or create layers in the image and move each layer independently.
