I don't believe so. View settings are system independent and never saved with the actual document.

comment Image becomes transparent after making clipping mask
Are you making a clipping mask or opacity mask? Can you post a screen shot of the layer and appearance panel with a sample? Or better yet, link to a sample file somewhere? Clipping masks don't alter transparency at all other than to show something or hide it. What you are describing is either an opacity mask, or something entirely unexpected.

comment Which colours should be chosen to match a metro theme and be easily readable?
I don't see anything inherently wrong with that color scheme. It's just one color and grey... it's pretty hard to go wrong with that combination as long as there is enough contrast.

I don't really understand how blue, grey, white and black can "look horrible to everyone else." Who is this "everyone"? :)

comment How to revive an old childrens book?
This is what I was eluding to. Quick and dirty, you could use levels in Photoshop and the paint/repair bad areas. The optimum way would be to recreate the art in a vector application.

comment Color filling the interior region of a traced bitmap
@Francesco unfortunately, responses such as that often means they simply do not have a vector version of the logo. That's not entirely uncommon anymore.

What the purpose? Personal? Professional? I ask because there are ways to improve appearance of the images you have, then there are ways to really solve issues permanently and correctly. The latter would take considerably more effort than the former.

You really don't need the bounding box for anything. If you need to scale via dragging just tap the e key to select the Free Transform Tool.
