Transparency and Soft Edges
Creating Soft Edges for Layers
• When creating tints or gradients select TRANSPARENCY in the
MENU window.
• When moving or transforming layers, or when inserting images
into the layout:
Click on the TRANSFORMATIONS toolbar (see page 19-1).
2. This opens the TRANSPARENCY, TRAPPING, SOFT EDGES dialog (see
below). Make sure the SOFT EDGES tab is selected.
3. Select one of the AREA TYPE options (see page 17-11) to define the
way transparency increases inside a soft edge (e.g. VERY SOFT).
4. Use the AREA WIDTH slider to define the size of the soft edge area.
You can also enter the width into the input box.
5. Use the AREA POSITION slider to define the location of the soft edge
area with respect to the original layer edge (see page 17-11).
Alternatively, enter the percentage of the soft edge area located inside
or outside the original layer edge into the input box:
+100%:
0%:
–100%:
