AD masking bitmap by bitmap

[wintermute]

Almost the same file. One is  embedded *.afphoto file, the other is the same *.afphoto file duplicated and rasterized.

But the masking effect is completely different. Is this the behavior you expect from a very deeply integrated software package?

(embedded *.afphoto clips pixel layer to border not to alpha)

If you roast a coffee bean and put hot water on, it tastes like coffee ,right?
If you don't roast the bean and put hot water on it it tastes bitter and like S**T.
Both are still coffee beans and you did something with it or not but you expect the same outcome ,why?

mayby beacuse alpha is an aplha?

You don’t use masking. Then the layer thumbnail of the child layer would be rendered white, not black.

so you are using clipping.

Instead of short sentences of what you think is a bug you should be posting according to the guidelines.

Where it is asked to provide a recipe for your issue.
with preferably screenshots or video with steps of the issue.
And an example file for others or the Q&A to help you out to resolve it.

It is only feedback. According sub-forum name. 

i like AD but i far from claming that it is everything i dreamed about.

of course you are right - in case of bitmap layer there is no other option. Sorry for semantic misunderstanding.

No, bitmap layers offer same options as vector layers.

but both behave different, explaining what you see. It is by design.

a nested bitmap layers is clipped based on the alpha channel of the parent layer (in case parent is bitmap layer).

a nested bitmap layer is fully visible inside the curve path of any non-bitmap layer. Embedded files and image layers are essentially a vector layer with a bitmap fill, and act as vector layers. It ignores the alpha channel of parent layer.
