Inserting Images Into Layout
Creating Mixground Layers
http://www.image2output.com
Note:
EPS clipping paths are used automatically and need not be selected.
If you select an ORIS PDF Tuner mask for an EPS image with a clipping
path, the cut-out will consist of the image area shared by both
masks.
5. Select COMPOSE | MIXGROUND. The cut-out appears inside the layer
you have marked in Step 2. The TRANSFORMATIONS toolbar appears.
6. You can move the cut-out within the limits of the restricting layer and
transform it in many ways (resize, rotate, mirror, etc.). For more details
refer to Transformations (page 19-1).
Using the button you can make these modifications by loading
the image and modifying the path on it. For more details refer to Correcting
Mixground Cut-outs by Modifying Path on Image (page
11-13).
Click to define transparency, soft edges or trapping (see
page 17-1 and 18-1).
Inserting other Layers ‘in the Mixground’
You can insert any layer on a layout (except dummy text) into another
layer as a mixground layer, i.e., any layer can be clipped at its edges by
another layer. An example is shown on page 11-3.
Example:
1. Activate the layer into which you want to insert the other layer (see
page 16-1).
2. Select MIXGROUND in the MENU window to turn this layer into a
restricting layer that will clip the mixground layer.
3. Activate the layer to be inserted as a mixground layer (i.e. the restricted
layer).
4. Select LAYER | MIXGROUND. A duplicate of the active layer is created
and the TRANSFORMATIONS toolbar appears.
5. Move the duplicated layer into the restricting layer.
Tip: The easiest way to do this is to click on the toolbar and then
SHIFT-click on the restricting layer. If the duplicated layer is still no visible,
select INSERT SELECTION in the MENU window, then click on the
restricting layer.
6. You can move the layer within the limits of the restricting layer and
transform it in many ways (resize, rotate, mirror, etc.). For more details
refer to Transformations (page 19-1).
