Moving masks and masked objects

You can reposition masks and masked objects. They can be moved together or independently.

To move a mask and its masked objects together:

1. Select the mask on the canvas using the Pointer tool.
2. Drag the mask to a new location, but don't drag the move handle unless you want to move
the masked object separately from the mask.

To move masks and masked objects independently by unlinking:

1. Click the link icon on the mask in the Layers panel.
This unlinks masks from masked objects so that they can be moved independently.
2.
Select the thumbnail of the object you want to move: the mask or the masked objects.
3.
Drag the object or objects on the canvas with the Pointer tool.
If there is more than one masked object, all masked objects move together.
