# one thing thats bugging me
If I make a selection in 1 image and copy it to clipboard. Then go to another image and hit paste, it pastes the clipboard onto the middle of the second image and just dumps it in the middle. In PSP I'm used to it being selected when I pasted it in. Here I seem to have to re-select it manually if I wanna shift it around.

Is there a proper way of doing this? Or is that for kids and sissy's?

# hold control
and move it around using the mouse

and if you hold control and click the layer it's pasted into on the layers toolbar it'll select it automagically

# Nah,
selection is for kids!

Use the area select tool and 'align layer to selection'! The MAN's way!

[edit: I actually used to do it this way until I found the select tool, silly me]
