    In the first version, each image maintains its original aspect ratio inside the clipping mask, which works correctly.

    But in the second version, I applied skew/transform to the shapes (frames). After that, the images inside the clipping masks also get distorted (stretched or skewed) along with the transformed frame.

    What I want is:
    The clipping mask shape can be transformed, skewed, or adjusted freely, but the image inside should NOT distort or stretch. The image should always keep its original proportion and only be cropped by the mask.

    Additionally, this design is used across multiple pages with many images. If any change is made to the layout or shape system, it becomes very time-consuming to fix each image one by one manually. Also, images may have different aspect ratios, which adds further complexity and increases editing time significantly.

    If all images had a consistent ratio (for example 1:1 or 2:2), it would be easier to apply a uniform setup once and replicate it across all elements automatically. But in this case, the images do not share the same ratio, which makes manual correction inefficient and error-prone.

    So the main requirement is:

    ...Frame/Mask can be freely transformed (including skew)
    ...Images inside must remain proportional (no distortion)
    ...Changes should be reusable or scalable across multiple pages without needing manual correction for each image
    A workflow or feature that reduces repetitive manual adjustment for large multi-page layouts is needed

    Is there any recommended feature, method, or non-destructive workflow in Illustrator to handle this efficiently?
