An oval shape has been added to an image in Preview.app by using Mebu bar command Tools → Annotate → Oval:



enter image description here



I have no means to move this oval: trying to do so only results in getting handles to resize or re-proportion it:



enter image description here



What is the magic way to select the shape? I also did not find any obvious select tool on the toolbar.

If you are talking about using Preview..



Do not select the shape it self.



Click anywhere next to it to un-select.



Now go back and "hover" over the shape till a hand shows instead arrow cursor.



enter image description here



Click and HOLD (hand animates that) and move it while holding.

  1. Use the keyboard shortcut Command + I to show the Inspector. It will list all the shapes added in the current editing session.


  2. Click on the desired shape in the Inspector. This will also select the shape.



enter image description here




  1. Now use the arrow keys to move the selected shape, Up , Down , Left or Right .


  2. Press and hold Shift key along with the arrow key to move the shape with faster speed.


  3. Alternatively, once the shape is selected (either by clicking on it or via Inspector), you can also hover the mouse pointer over it until the cursor turns into a white glove. Thereafter, you can click and drag to move the shape freely.
