:
when i cut and paste or copy and paste in PS it usually pastes the item in a different position than the one it was copied from. I seem to remember that sometimes it pastes the new item in the exact same position that it was copied or cut from. Is there a way to ensure this happens.
thanks

The logic is this:
After you cut or copy something, PS will paste the item to:
If there is a current active selection:(row of ants)
It will paste to the center of the current active selection.
If there is no current selection:
The dead smack center of the visible area of the image; If you are seeing the whole image in the window this will be center of the image; Else it will be the center of the portion
you are currently zoomed in.
After you select & copy something, the selection is still active so it will paste to the same area; as per rule 1 above;
But after you cut something, the selection dissapears, so it will follow rule 2;
So if you want to paste to the exact location after a cut, do a copy, paste, Ctr+Click on the newly pasted layer to bring back the selection, switch to the first layer, and do a cut.
