  4. Click and drag the selected image portion from its original location (example position A) to a new location (example position B). Once the pixels have been moved, an area of transparency (denoted by the grey and white checkerboard pattern) will be left in place of the moved pixels. Refer to the example below.

    Note

    The checkerboard pattern indicates that the region is transparent and serves as a visual cue (not part of the visible image).
