Markers can be moved by clicking and holding on the center point of the marker using the mouse and adjusting the position of the marker.

Note: If a dynamic marker is manually moved on the histogram, it gets converted to a manual marker.

 

When the marker is selected by clicking on it, three points will appear: a resizing handle at the left- and right-boundaries, and a point in the center for moving the marker (Figure 7.65). Position the mouse cursor over the central point so it turns into a four-headed arrow. While keeping the mouse button pressed, move the marker to a new position. Release the mouse when the marker is in the new position. To cancel moving the marker mid-way through a move, press the Esc key before releasing the mouse button and the marker will return to its original position before a move was attempted.
