How to Move image and picture frame together

[AngelaY]

I can't for the life of me (after spending days scrolling the internet and help) find how to move an image and picture frame together. It's extremely annoying when 50 pictures need moving, and either the frame or the image moves but not the 2 together. Please can you help me, what should I be doing? I've tried locking children and pressing every button I can pretty much find.

Hi AngelaY,
welcome to the Affinity forums!

It sounds you try with the cursor inside the circular 4-arrow area. What if you click-drag outside that but within the frame?

Welcome to the forums @AngelaY

If you have the image in the Picture Frame selected then the image should move while the Picture Frame stays where it is.

Alternatively, if you have the Picture Frame selected then the image should move with the Picture Frame, unless you have Lock Children set to ON.

Alternatively, as thomaso said above, if you have the Picture Frame selected then the image should move with the Picture Frame, unless you are dragging the ‘four-arrow’ control.

If none of this helps, can you show us a full-screen video of what’s happening?

Thank you both so much, this has completely worked. I must have been constantly selecting the wrong area. Much appreciated for your speedy replies.
