Working with Transparency - Adobe InDesign CC - page 444

Tip
To show only the Art3 layer and hide all other layers, Alt-click (Windows)
or Option-click (Mac OS) the Toggle Visibility icon in the Layers panel.
10. In the Layers panel, click to hide the Art2, Art1, and Background layers so that
only the Art3 layer is visible, and you can view the placed image on its own and
see the transparent color interactions within the Illustrator image.
11. Click to redisplay the Art2, Art1, and Background layers. Notice that the white
“olive” shape is completely opaque, whereas the other shapes of the drinking
glasses are partly transparent.
12. With the glasses image still selected, change the Opacity setting in the Effects pan-
el to 60%. Keep the image selected.
13. In the Effects panel, choose Color Burn from the Blending Mode menu. Now the
colors and interactions of the image take on a completely different character.
14. Choose Edit > Deselect All, and then choose File > Save.
Applying transparency settings to text
Changing the opacity of text is as easy as applying transparency settings to graphic objects
in your layout. You'll try out the technique now as you also change the color of the text.
1. In the Layers panel, lock the Art3 layer, and then unlock the Type layer and make
it visible.
