selection tool for selecting total object direct selection tool for selecting separate points in object.
The Position tool is a combo Selection/Direct Selection tool specifically for images and their frames. When you click with it on an image frame, it acts like the Selection tool, allowing you to drag on the frame handles to crop the image, or Command/Ctrl-Shift-drag to scale the image and its frame. When you click inside the image, it acts like the Direct Selection tool, letting you move the image around within the frame or scale it without affecting the frame. Another neat feature of the Position tool is that it "doesn't speak Group," so it's impossible to inadvertently modify other objects in a grouped selection while you're working on an image in that group.
There isn't drag tool in any Photoshop version. To move things around you can use Move Tool or Path and Direct Selection tools to move paths and shapes.

There are some fundamental differences between painting and drawing. Although somewhat similar (they share some of the same tools and tool functions), painting and drawing have different functions. Whereas objects in drawing can be edited on an “whole object by whole object” basis, objects in painting can be changed and moved on a pixel by pixel basis.
