Transparency in Corel

[Phill Fenton]

Click on the white box with the cross through it in your colour pallete (that colour is clear). For the pinline, select your lettering then right click on your colour of choice.

Hi guys,

I am trying to put some lettering with a small pinline over a picture so the actual letters go see through and the picture shows through but leaves the small pinline. Can’t figure it out and it’s annoying me.

i read this wrong to begin with but will say my bit anyways!

Phill’s way will give you just an outline (wireframe) of the letters, assuming they’re converted to curves and given at least a hairline, rather than a true transparency.

for a transparency you click on the part of the tool box below the text button (usually on interactive blend tool as default… little boxes icon), click on the corner and it’ll open a small menu, the wine glass is the transparency tool icon, click this and some options come up in the top tool bars, click where it says ‘none’ in the drop down menu and use ‘uniform’ for an all over transparency, you can also adjust the amount of transparency too.

hope that’s of help.

I use the interactive transparency tool a lot. Probably too much.
But it’s just so much fun!
