The isolation double click method doesn't work if you try to do it outside the mask. Their are lots of occasions where I require to edit the contents of a mask from outside the mask, this new way of masking does not allow any amends to be made outside of the mask. This is a huge disadvantage for me. What if I need to use the direct selection tool to make a marquee to only select 2 points outside of the mask? It appears with the new way of masking I cant do this unless I unmask the object first. maybe i'm missing something but this seems crazy???!!!! I can see advantages to this new way of working but also disadvantages so surely the best soloution for everyone would be a simple preference to allow both methods?
