I am a novice to Gimp 3.0.6. I used Photoshop for decades untill Adobe's policies made me leave.
My pc runs Win 11 with an AMD 64 processor.
In Photoshop a layer with a mask shows a locking-icon. "Locked" will lock the relative movements between image and mask - and "unlocked" will allowe them to be moved separately.
This has nothing to do with Gimp's options to protect the content of the layer against editing or movement (as far as can see).
One of my layers in Gimp shows an image icon and its mask icon - and apparently there's no option to lock their relative movement?
Example:
With the Move tool active and the image at eg. 400% trying to move the image and the mask together within the borders of the screen results in two unexpected behaviors:
1. with the mask icon active a selection of the mask becomes visible and moves independently of the image.
2. with the image icon active the image moves relative to the mask.
How can I make them move together - like in PS when the small locking-icon shows "locked"?
