QuarkXPress to Adobe InDesign CS4 Conversion Guide

Blending mode
Transparency
Select the Isolate Blending
option to restrict blending
modes so they affect only the
selected group.
You can transfer Photoshop effects by dragging
the fx icon in the panel to another object
attribute or on top of another object on the page.
Click here to clear all
transparency and
Photoshop effects
applied to an object.
After selecting an object with the
Selection or Direct Selection tool,
you can choose a Photoshop effect
from this menu, the panel menu, or
the Object > Effects menu.
You can apply effects
independently to a
group, an object, its
stroke, its fill, or to the
text in text frames.
The Effects dialog box
lists all effects, which
makes it easy to apply
multiple effects at once.
Tips:
WORKING WITH TRANSPARENCY
• If you apply settings in the Effects dialog box without first selecting an object,
each object you draw subsequently will have those new settings applied.
• To apply an effect to an image separately from its frame, first select it with the
Direct Selection tool. While you cannot apply transparency effects to text selected
with the Type tool, you can convert the text to outlines (Type > Create Outlines)
and then apply the effect with the Selection tool.
