    Editable Text as a Layer Mask

    IamSam Thanks for the feedback. I guess in most scenarios it makes perfect sense for clipping groups to behave in this way - we normally only want to clip to the fill area, not the stroke. I'm tempted to argue that the situation isn't quite so intuitive when applied to the knockout blending...

    Editable Text as a Layer Mask
