Is there a way to get the moon in this image to move, say, from where it is now towards the right?Not sure how to do this without moving the bushes with it.

Thanky you, Karsten. I will go and read it 😀
Switchie 2 - Don't I need three layers - one for the sky, one for the bushes and one for the moon? Maybe I need to learn how to do it with two layers by erasing part of the bushes or moon.
Of course you do !
But we all took for granted that the background layer was not in your first question about how to move the moon without moving the bushes.
Of course each object must be on it's own layer.
And if you add a bird, the bird will have to fly on its own layer
And the clouds moving over the moon also
We all thought you knew :-))
Have fun
lollll!!
Well I found a photo of trees with a night sky and managed to separate that into a psd for the sky and a psd for the trees. Then, I sandwiched a moon between the two layers, saved it as a psd and brought it into FCPX and was able to move the moon.
I had one problem, though. When I separated the trees from the sky using the magic wand and then pasting it into its own layer in a new image and saving it, when I moved the trees layer back into the original image they did not line up 100% - maybe 1 or 2 pixels off which gave it a sort of ghosting outline. It's not too noticeable but I'd like to know what I did to cause the problem of not lining up 100%. Maybe when I used the magic wand there was a a few pixels feathered somewhere but I couldn't find them.
Either way, I managed to move the moon 😀 so I accomplished my goal.
PS - I probably should have used a NEW sky image and pasted the trees into that so I wouldn't have the ghosting rather than pasting them back into the original image! Hmm . . .
