Moving the pivot point in Photoshop.

[toymaker1]

Hello.

I am finding that when I try to move the pivot point to a different location within a selected image, in order to change the rotation point, the whole selection moves, not just the pivot point. As I understand it, it should be a very simple matter to drag the pivot to a different location. I have tried re-starting my i~Mac osx 10.14.6, and re-starting Photoshop 2019. I cannot move the pivot point on it's own. Does anyone have any advice about this? Grateful for any help.

That is incorrect.

Are you seeing the cursor change from just an arrow to an arrow with a little diamond next to it?

Hold the opt key then click to move the pivot point.

Thanks to everyone who offered advice re. moving the pivot point.

I have learnt something.

I used to see the pivot point when I did an alt/option click on it to move it.  In the current version of Photoshop CC there is no visible pivot point.  Why would they remove the familiar plus sign which indicated the pivot point?

I'm also looking for this answer. The center point that you can move for the pivot point is gone! Why would they do this. It was sooo helpful!

If you can not see the center point.

Make sure this check box is selected in the transform panel.
