When I select an area and move its contents, the selection snaps to the opaque pixels of the contents. How do I move a selected area while keeping active the selection border as I defined it? This is the default behavior in GIMP. Alternately is there a way to crop a single layer?

By default in Photoshop, when you move a selected layer, the selection remains active. Does it get de-selected for you? To crop a single layer, make your selection on the active layer, then select Layer > New > Layer via Copy (Ctrl+J). This will create a new layer with your selection only. You can hide / discard the original layer. Similarly if you want to resize a single layer, you can make your selection, then select Edit > Transform > Scale. | |||||

Photoshop indicates a selection region around pixels that are 50% opaque or more. This is by design and it doesn't mean that pixels outside the indicated region aren't selected. If preserving your original selection region is really important, save it to a new channel (Select > Save Selection), and restore it by control-clicking on that channel. | |||
