I downloaded from istockphoto.com what was supposed to be an EPS file for a vector drawing. Can’t believe that most of it is a few image layers with dozens of layer masks to provide vector shaping. I used divide to separate a group of masks and found when stepping from mask to mask using the opt + cmd + [ or ], I find that when stepping through masks it is backwards. opt + cmd + [ steps up and opt + cmd + ] steps down. This is opposite of the normal direction when stepping through layers or Clipping Masks. Looks like a bug to me. I confirmed in a normal drawing created in AD 1.7.2 that this is also the case. Also, if multiple layers are dragged to create several Layer Masks they are then in reversed order following the drag. When doing the same to create Clipping Masks this doesn’t happen. Is this supposed to reverse the order? I can’t think of why. Is this not a bug also? Also, when double clicking on the thumbnail of the layer mask it doesn't zoom in to view the mask. Shouldn't it do this even for layer masks? I find I normally use clipping masks not layer masks, so I don't have a lot of experience with them. But I'm not finding answers in HELP, or at least I'm missing them. And I don't think I've seen anything in the forum on these issues. Thanks.
