An error occurred while saving the comment Wow. That’s not how it works usually...
What happens if you try to move such a selection?
Can you share this file to test, please?An error occurred while saving the comment Hi, mate. Why do you use Direct Selection tool to select your masked images? Just a Selection does exactly what you need, selecting both a mask and an image inside, as a whole... while Direct indeed select a clipped image only, as you demonstrate?
Maybe you mix them?
See, InDesign and Illustrator surprisingly use different cursors for these tools. Illustrator’s Direct is white inside, always, even when you use the darkest theme. InDesign, however, swaps the fills and makes Direct black in the toolbox (but not on canvas). Quite ridiculous.Anyway, no locking or hiding is necessary in Illustrator to do what you describe, if you use the right tool, as I see it.
If not — please demo your workflow, if it does not help, via a video or a GIF.

An error occurred while saving the comment ...and you are 'quick these days to click ok on any dialog box', including this warning message :)
The idea is fine though, I remember having duplicates opened too -

Yes, this is one more duplicate, I know... But both panels need it. And context menu needs one too.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Many things to say about it.
1. If you enable Smart Guides and disable Snap to Grid and drag an end sharp point accurately enough (yeah, boring), illustrator snaps it to an angled virtual Line Extension guide, that does exactly what is wanted... but it won’t work for a middle point, or a point that has a handle, or a point that is adjacent to a point with a handle... so many ifs!
2. There is a commercial Line Extend plugin from AstuteGraphics pack, that does extending (not moving though) flawlessly, with incrementations, highlighting, other options. Also, their PathScribe tool allows linear constrain for moving a point.
3. Sure it should be in Illustrator from the box!

An error occurred while saving the comment Rubi, you can do all of this in desktop version of Illustrator (you are posting in the branch for desktop, not iPad, if you meant that).
Tapered brush — you can do it.
Add, export, make — you can do it.
Pattern, halftones — you can do it.
Gradient and pattern strokes — you can do it.
Choose which part of stroke to change — you can do it.
The last two are confusing to me, but I believe this is also can be done.
So either you just haven’t learn it yet, or you are referring to iPad — which I haven’t tried yet. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Wait, what? There is no 'Raster' command or menu inside of Object menu...
I suppose you meant Rasterize.The latter part is completely unclear to me. You suggest making a blend from the raster image? And this is somehow solves the irregularity in the traced image after? The blend does not get applied to a single (or not) raster image at all.
Or it’s rather a suggestion you make about how you think it should work, and not a solution, as you claim in the last line?
Anyway, I know of a Phantasm plugin from AstuteGraphics plugins pack that allows to make proper smooth vector halftones out of anything.
But if you found a hack to bypass it — please demonstrate, because so far the explanation/suggestion above is kind of gibberish.

An error occurred while saving the comment Well, Peter, I am sorry it took me so long to see this one.
Not much I can help you with, except giving you an example of how it can be done in Illustrator today and explain why it works this way — if it’s not that useful for you now, it can be for others.Take a look at the file.
Select the photo object and open Appearance panel to see how the look of the image is constructed. It has a gradient fill over the Image Pixels, and this fill has one effect applied to it.
Select the fill and open the Gradient panel to see how it’s done — two stops, both magenta, one of them has 0% opacity, making it completely transparent (that’s why you can see an image underneath).
Why the Outline Object effect is applied to a fill in the Appearance panel? Because the image does not have a vector path to apply the fill to if you not force Illustrator to have one with this effect.
Try to delete the effect and the fill disappears.
Undo, try move the effect above the fill, and both image and fill disappear — because the photo is turned to a path, but after the fill is applied to a photo.
Move the effect below the fill, and the photo remains invisible, but the fill is now rendered, because the path is generated first,
Move the effect back into the fill, and now you have both the image unchanged, and an additional fill generated from the path.This is not simple to grasp at first, Appearance panel is considered to be an advanced tool. If you understand how it works, you can build very complex appearances.
An easier way it to have a separate rectangle sized as your photo, with just a fill applied.
How is the gradient done in the first place? There are many ways to do it.
I selected an object, opened the panel, clicked Linear Type button, double-clicked on one of the stops, switched the Color in the appeared sub-panel, set the color I want, closed the sub-panel, alt-dragged the magenta stop over the other one I had in the strip, and dropped it over it to replace. Then I adjusted the opacity below, repositioned stops and changed the angle.The team is aware of issues users have with it and makes steps to allow a more intuitive approach. It’d be great if you had a video of you trying, to understand what went wrong and how did you attempted to do it, but it’s to late for this, I understand.
Again, sorry for the late answer.

Thanks, Adam. Same version, but Windows. The red fill gets applied alright for me.
It can be a machine-specific issue... or just a rare thing, because styles in Ai are as slow they are fast in InD :(
I suppose you should try to contact a support to look at the issue at your machine directly. I’ll try to find someone.
