I have a Image (need not be rasterized),

draw Rectangle (or some other shape),

clipped Image to Rectangle,

select Rectangle, set Lock Children (in Context Toolbar), and adjust the position and size of the rectangle - the Image does not change (it stays in the same position and the same size).

Unlock Children, and change cropped Image position (or size).

Thank you for the step by step. Someone else suggested that method as well. But I already have the boxes drawn, they are already layers that exist. But they are images also not rasterized and they have effects applied to them that I also want to copy and paste to the image that is cropped to the shape. If I rasterize the box layers to use to mask the image layers I lose the effects.

As (I think) we have said, there is no need to rasterize.

I am going to invest my time either in Craft Artist learning curve (which I am leary of since it seems to be on its way out as well?) or my time and money in PS Elements so I can continue to work on my projects as before.

None of the legacy applications are being developed now; this applies to CraftArtist as well as the ‘Plus’ titles. Having said that, the learning curve for CA is not a steep one.
