I've done this a bunch of times where I make a clipping mask over a rasterized image, then rasterizing it as a whole so it takes up less memory. But for some reason today when I try to rasterize it, it crops to the original dimensions of the image?? Using this photo as an example
1. Make a clipping Mask
2. Rasterized the Masked image
3. Doesn't crop to the shape of the image? This is now a full raster photo with a massive border that I have to manually crop (has to be cropped for what I'm doing at work)
Any ideas? Couldn't find a way to word this online or find any answers. I've played with all the Rasterize settings too
Looks like a bug, tried it in the 2023 version and there it only rasterizes the part inside the clipping mask.
Looks like this problem is back:
Looks fixed in beta and prerelease versions

Does the crop function not work for that?

no I don't believe it works if one of them is a raster img. I tried haha

Not Pathfinder Crop -- this:

oh gotcha, yeah its the workaround I've been using. just makes taskes more tedious since I need the crop to be precise by milimeters. and it used to automatically crop to transparency so I'm wondering if it's a bug or not since I didn't change any settings

This is happening to me too! It's completely ignoring the clipmask whenever I'm rasterizing, and I end up having to crop the rastered images to what I need them to be

Huh! I wonder if it's a bug if you just started experiencing it as well! Wonder if rolling back a version would fix the problem haha

It stopped working for me too after installing the latest update. It worked fine yesterday with the older version.

Hi, I was also surprised to see this change and rolled back to the previous version, which resolved the issue. Unfortunately, my presets weren't kept which meant I had to import actions and rearrange my workspace, so just warning anyone else that this will happen. Hopefully the next update will revert back to rasterizing to the size of the clipping mask.

Pretty odd. It took about two decades to introduce the right behaviour, but it took only a couple of years or months to reintroduce the wrong behaviour.
However, as far as I can see the temporary workaround in AI 28.5 is to first convert the clipped objects into a static symbol and then use the Object menu > Rasterize command.
