Can no longer change the color of BMP files in Illustrator 28.5
So a coworker's and my illustrator updated a couple days ago to 28.5 and we just noticed that we can no longer change the colors of .bmp files we've saved from photoshop and dragged in.
Did everything like normal:
1. Convert greyscale image in photoshop to bitmap
2. Save out as a .bmp
3. Drag / place into illustrator
4. Click on the bitmap image and simply change the color
Now it appears that it treats the bitmap file as a jpg instead, or something to that affect rather than the typical transparent bitmap like before. It get's placed into illustrator with its white background intact. Only workaround I've found is that you can save the file out as a .tiff instead of .bmp and Illustrator will treat it like a normal bitmap, but its weird that the previous method we've always used no longer works. My coworker went back to the previous version, 28.3, and everything went back to working like normal.
Anyone else having this issue?
