Once you’re done, return to the tool to perform another task such as Ctrl + Alt + drag to move the selected area or Shift + Alt + drag to copy it.

This works for circles, rectangles as well as selections made with the free select tool. Make sure that the Move option is set to Selection in the panel and you can now drag the selection into a new position.

To see this at work, make a selection, then click the Move tool. It is so much easier in Gimp than in Photoshop to move the actual selection marquee once you have made it. When you change or reassign a shortcut, Gimp is smart enough to add the new shortcut to the appropriate menu so the Select menu here shows the newly assigned shortcut. Because this key combination is already used a warning appears – if you are ok with replacing the shortcut, then proceed to assign the new shortcut key. Then press the keystroke to use – I chose Ctrl + D, which is the Photoshop equivalent. So, for example, to map the Ctrl + D keystroke to the Select > None option, click to open the Select menu, locate the None option and click it so that the words New Accelerator appear in the Shortcut column. Unfortunately in Gimp, the Photoshop deselect keystroke duplicates an image! You can, however, remap your keyboard shortcuts by choosing Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts. When I use Gimp, I sometimes forget and use Photoshop keys for things like deselect. Click Ok to round the corners of the image. You can select to work on a copy of the image (rather than the original), and select whether or not to add some background behind the curved corners – the current background color is used for this. Select the Edge Radius, which is the amount of curve, and if desired, click to add a Drop Shadow and then set the Shadow Offset and Blur Radius. To do this, choose Filters > Décor > Rounded Corners. Gimp makes it dead simple to round the corners of an image.
