Hello all, I'm using Photoshop CC 2019 (20.0.4) and recently discovered that when I delete a mask from a layer, it doesn't just delete the mask, it seems to apply the mask and THEN delete it all in one go. As far back as I can remember to Photoshop v6.0, you could simply drag the mask to the trash and it would delete it WITHOUT affecting the layer. If you wanted to delete the mask AND delete the masked pixels, you would simply right-click on the mask, click apply mask, and it would delete both (mask and masked pixels). I did notice if you drag the mask to the trash while holding Alt/Option, it leaves the pixels alone and only delete's the mask. I'm really not liking this, I want to delete the mask without harming my artwork by default.. I shouldn't have to hold an optional key to keep my artwork intact. I'd like to know if anyone else has noticed this bug/feature change.. or am I just going crazy and this has been like this all along? lol Any way to change the default? Thanks
