layer is (see the baseball in
Figure 6-13
). When you click an object to select the layer
you want to move, a bounding box with square handles on it appears around the con-
tents of that layer. (If there's more than one object on the layer, they all get included.)
Shift-click to select objects on multiple layers, and the bounding box expands to in-
clude everything you've selected. You can also drag to create a selection around mul-
tiple objects and choose them that way. (For instance, in
Figure 6-13
, you could drag
over both the balls and the mitt to move them as a group.)

Move the layer(s)
.
You can do this by clicking the Tool Options area's Arrange icon, choosing Layer-
→Arrange, or right-clicking inside the bounding box in the image. Whichever method
you use, you see all the choices described in the previous section (“Bring to Front,”
Bring Forward, and so on) except for Reverse, which is available only from the Layer
menu. You can also use keyboard shortcuts (again, except for Reverse).
NOTE
If you select multiple layers, you may find that some of the arrange commands are grayed
out (meaning you can't choose them). If that's a problem, just click elsewhere in the im-
age to deselect the layers, and then move the layers one at a time instead of as a group.
