When you create a new, non-transparent image – the first "layer" is the background, and it cannot be moved. That’s normal.

And it sounds like you’re missing the Photoshop plugins folder (which is why you’re not seeing the plugin filters).

Is your image in 8bit, RGB?

This is not completely true.

you can move channels one at a time.

you can load/create a selection and move the contents.

The big problem here is that selections are a one way trip, but should be modal when the user flops from the selection tool to the move tool, regardless of layer transparency.

It’s a long over due needed UI repair.

He’s still missing the plugin filters — whether from moving, deleting, or other action.
