In photoshop CS2.
I am trying to move images (layers) around that I have added layer masks too.
Why won't it move the image and mask together. It wants to move separately only.
thanks.
 
The layer is a smart object. if i rasterize it, i can click in between the image and the mask and link it. maybe i should mak e a vector mask. I did not try that.
 
...applying the layer mask into the smart object is the workaround...

...double click the smart object layer to launch it into another window, apply mask and save back down...

...quick update:

...another way is to add a group object above the smart object layer (third icon from right at the bottom of the layers palette)...

...with a mask already applied on a smart object layer, if you move the mask to the group object layer above (not in it) then place the smart object INTO the group, you can then link the group object to the mask...

...transforms are then achievable...
