Is your Image embedded? it should be linked

wait, it does work with embedded images, just make sure the "Clip" option is unchecked

[user00001]

yes it does work when the 'clip' option unchecked, but the clip option should be checked all the time. if your make a mask shape size smaller than the image or you make different mask shape while the 'clip' option unchecked, the image will not be proper clipping mask.
