Mask should cover the whole image area, not only the "visible" one (limited by page/bleed/crop...)

[Wosven]

It(s About the problem of mask using only the visible part of an image (as in ignoring bleed in APub, or once cropped), it would be interesting if the mask was effective on the whole image in each case.

With this, we can widen a visible area, move an image in an image frame, re-crop larger, etc. with few adjustements to adapted the partially painted margins now visible.

For example, if I used a gradient on a mask, it would go behond the visible part of this image, since the mask would cover the full image. And I would be able to crop differently/move from the bleed, etc. without complexe work to recreate the missing parts we usually get.

 

For now, the mask only work on the cropped area:

If uncropped:

 

It would be better if the mask behave as if the image wasn't cropped:

 

The problem is the same when there's bleed, or artboard:
