Inserting Images Into Layout
Creating Mixground Layers
Click to define transparency, soft edges or trapping (see
page 17-1 and 18-1).
Modifying Mixground Layers
Mixground layers can be modified just like any other layer, but they will
always be restricted by the layer into which they were inserted. Use the
following functions in the MENU window, depending on the layer type and
the modifications to be made:
• TRANSFORM – To move, rotate, scale, mirror or distort the layer and
to apply transparency, soft edges and trapping.
• DUPLICATE – To duplicate and then move or transform the layer.
• CORRECT – To recolor a tint or gradient, to move or transform a
background image within the limits of its mask or to correct brushed
layers and filter layers.
• LAYER PATH – To change the layer outline without moving or transforming
the layer itself.
• CORRECT TEXT – To edit a text or change its typography.
See also Modifying, Duplicating and Deleting Layers (page 16-4).
Note:
It is not possible to move or transform a restricting layer, i.e. the layer into
which a mixground layer was inserted. However, you can activate both
the restricting and restricted (= mixground) layer and modify both layers
together. If a restricting layer is activated separately, the TRANSFORM
function is unavailable (and also CORRECT in the case of cut-outs).
In the case of nested mixground layers (a mixground layer inside a mixground
layer), this restriction applies to all layers except for the topmost.
Correcting Mixground Cut-outs by Modifying Path on
Image
ORIS PDF Tuner offers a special correction method for mixground cutouts
inserted into layers created with a path. The image is loaded into a
window and the path defining the outline of the restricting layer is displayed.
Modifications are made by moving, scaling, rotating etc. this
path. The figure below shows an example.
For more details refer to How to Correct Background Images by Modifying
Path on Image (page 11-6).
