Free Transform image layers?

I'm trying to do some "sort of precise" positioning of label art on a bottle. I have the art in pieces on layers in a psd, and have brought that psd into 3DC to better line up the elements on the bottle.

The problem is that the tranform tool is a bit cumbersome: you have to marquee a section of the layer (done in the UV Editor window so it's on a 2D plane) but it's not easy to move around because the preview in the viewport does not update "live". I get a lot of weird errors with piece of image missing or getting distorted as well.

Is it possible to just add a simple "move tool" like in Photoshop to just move the existing layers around in 2D and not transform them each time, which seems to re-interpolate them even for a simple move and is degrading the quality from what I can see. That and a live update as you move the layers around would be a huge improvement for texturing.

Am I missing a way to do this that is already built in?

Thanks /b
