Moving one layer relative to another


Recommended Posts

Hello

I just started using Affinity. I have previously used PhotoPlus.

I have two images in two separate layers. I want to move one relative to the other so I can align it a certain way. But I can't do it! ALL the layers move together.

Here's details: I have one layer selected in the Layer panel, and I choose the select tool (the hand).

As I move the select tool on one layer, I expect just that layer to move around over the other layer. But ALL of the layers move together! What am I doing wrong?

I just want to move one layer over the other..

This was simple to do in the old PhotoPlus..

Thanks

Gary

You need  to select the Move Tool (V) to select an individual layer
