How do I remove transparency in CorelDRAW?

Published in CorelDraw Graphics 2 mins read

To remove transparency from an object in CorelDRAW, select the object with the transparency applied and then, in the Object Properties docker, click the "No transparency" button. Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Steps to Remove Transparency

  1. Select the Object: Use the Pick tool to click on the object that currently has transparency applied to it.

  2. Open the Object Properties Docker: If it's not already open, go to Window > Dockers > Object Properties.

  3. Navigate to the Transparency Tab: In the Object Properties docker, locate and click on the "Transparency" tab (it might be represented by an icon resembling a gradient or transparency grid).

  4. Remove the Transparency: Within the Transparency area, find and click the "No transparency" button. This button usually has an icon that represents no transparency, often a solid color square. This will completely remove any transparency effects that were applied to the selected object.

Alternative Method:

  • You can also use the Transparency tool from the Toolbox. After selecting the object, click the Transparency tool, and on the Property Bar, choose 'Normal' blend mode and set the transparency value to 100% at every node if transparency applied through gradient. Or select "No Transparency" on the property bar.

Understanding Transparency in CorelDRAW

Transparency allows you to see through an object, revealing objects behind it. CorelDRAW provides various methods for applying and customizing transparency, including:

  • Uniform Transparency: Applies the same level of transparency across the entire object.
  • Fountain Transparency: Creates a gradient of transparency, gradually fading from opaque to transparent or between different levels of transparency.
  • Pattern Transparency: Uses a bitmap or vector pattern to create areas of transparency.
  • Lens Transparency: Simulates the effect of looking through a lens, distorting or coloring the objects behind it.

Removing transparency effectively returns the object to its original, opaque state.
