I am tearing my hair out. I’ve been designing for Spoonflower using a combination of Adobe Sketch and Pixelmator on my iPad. I was easily moving images from Sketch to photos to Pixelmator, where I was able to place various elements within the new image and move them around with my Apple Pencil or my finger. Tonight that stopped working. I can’t move things unless I “select” them, and sometimes not then. Has anyone had this problem?

I figured it out: the line art I was working with was so fine, it was hard to grab enough pixels to move it. Made some adjustments and problem solved (at 2 am).
