Concept: The lesson is designed using Adobe Photoshop. We have used selections, different combination of image editing tools and filters for most of the effects. Photoshop comes up with lots of the options and scope for experiment is much more than you can imagine. We wish to encourage you to use different options and tools to get better output. The lessons and techniques described need to be followed as a guideline to achieve the effect.
1. Open Photoshop. Open Image to work with masking
link option.

2. Using Elliptical Marquee tool
and Reveal selection command, create the following mask on
the image. (Please follow previous
basic masking tutorials before doing this)

3. There is a small link between the image and the
layer mask thumbnail shows that the layer mask is linked to the
layer. It is indicated with the red arrow in the figure.

4. Select Move Tool. Place it in the middle portion
of the revealed part of the image and start moving. We have moved
it towards the top right corner.

5. The image and the mask move together simultaneously.
You can figure out from the layer that the image is
moving along with the layer mask.
In the next
lesson, we will see the effect after removing the link between
image and mask.
