the scaling).

13. Click the Cancel button in the Options bar or press the ESC key.

14. Choose the Move tool, then click and drag the selected layer until the pink
guides show the selection is centered on the canvas.
While the Move tool is active, pressing the Arrow keys nudges the selected layer by a few
pixels at a time. This method is useful for slight movements.

The pink lines that appear as you drag are smart guides, which help you to reposition
objects (including selection marquees) relative to other objects or to the canvas.

Pink smart guides identify
when the selection aligns
the edges or center of other
objects, or to the canvas.
