I don't get it. Any other way to get it? I tried doing it on Photoshop as well but same issue.

If anyone still doesn't understand what I mean, I want this "zzzz" part of the image:

--------------
-oooozzzzooo-
-oooozzzzooo-
-ooooooooooo-
-ooooooooooo-
-ooooooooooo-
--------------

but when I try and crop the zzzz part, and then move it, it erases that zzzz part, and the back goes white (like nothing there) and it doesn't actually move the image I want. Please help!
A question about the terminology you're using: you say you're trying to 'crop' and then 'move' it. Cropping eliminates everything outside of what you're working with and reduces the image size to just the 'zzzz' portion, so there's nowhere to move it to. Is that what you want? If so, Rathji's solution should work well. Or are you trying to select an area of the image and then move that somewhere else?
