  1. Hey DT! Do you know that when you have a floating selection (like after pasting) you can press the new layer button at the bottom of the layer window and it will merge the floating selection into a new layer. Personally I only use this all the time and I merge or whatever the new layer into another one instead of anchoring the floating selection. I honestly don't really understand the need of a floating layer. It confuses new people greatly. Sorry, not greatly, but MASSIVELY. Why wouldn't the Paste command simply create a new layer is beyond me. Aaanyway, at the end, the cut and paste of the layers wasn't needed. There's a tool to move layers (the icon is a 4-direction arrow). By holding Shift and dragging, it will move the active layer. Without Shift, it will try to guess the layer you want to move based on where you started dragging. There's other options too. Hope these little tricks helped. Cheers!
