10 Creating Tints and Gradients
Basically, there are two different ways of adding color to a layout:
• Filling tints or gradients into an outline
The outline may be defined by active paths or layers.
• Brushing colors on a layout
Paths filled with a color are turned into layers, i.e. layout elements that
will be visible on the printed page.
Tints
A tint consists of one single color, whereas a gradient consists of several
colors shading into each other.
Creating Tints
1. Define the outline to be filled by doing one of the following:
• Create or activate paths (see page 7-1 and and 8-1)
• Paint or activate a mask on the layout (see page 22-14)
• Activate layers (see page 16-1)
2. Click or select LAYER | TINT.
The COLOR SELECTION dialog appears.
3. Specify the color you want (see Selecting Colors, page 10-8).
4. As long as the COLOR SELECTION dialog is displayed, you can define
transparency, trapping or soft edges for the layer. To do so, select
TRANSPARENCY in the MENU window (see page 17-1).
Correcting Tints
1. Activate the tint layer (see page 16-1).
2. You can only correct one layer at a time.
