Changing the opacity of solid-color objects
With the background graphic complete, you can start applying transparency effects to ob-
jects on layers stacked above it. You'll start with a series of simple shapes that were drawn
using InDesign.
1. In the Layers panel, select the Art1 layer so that it becomes the active layer, and
click the lock icon ( ) to the left of the layer name to unlock the layer. Click the
empty box on the far left of the Art1 layer name so that the eye icon ( ) appears,
indicating that the layer is visible.
2. Using the Selection tool ( ), click the full circle filled with the Yellow/Green
swatch on the right side of the page. This ellipse frame with a solid fill was drawn
in InDesign.
Note
The shapes mentioned are named by the color swatch applied to the fill
of the object. If the Swatches panel is not open, choose Window Color >
Swatches to open it.
3. Choose Window > Effects to display the panel.
4. In the Effects panel, click the arrow on the right side of the Opacity percentage. An
Opacity slider adjustment appears. Drag the slider to 70%. Alternatively, enter
70% in the Opacity box and press Enter or Return.
