You can change transparency in CorelDraw using the Transparency tool, which allows you to apply different types of transparency effects to objects.
Here's how to change transparency in CorelDraw:
-
Select the object: Choose the object you want to make transparent.
-
Select the Transparency tool: Activate the Transparency tool from the toolbox.
-
Choose a Transparency Type: The Property Bar will display various transparency options:
- Uniform Transparency: Applies the same level of transparency across the entire object. Adjust the slider on the Property Bar to control the transparency percentage.
- Fountain Transparency (Gradient): Creates a gradient transparency effect. Choose from Linear, Radial, Conical, or Square fountain fills. Adjust the nodes in the interactive vector handles to control the gradient's direction, position, and the transparency at each node.
- Pattern Transparency: Applies a pre-designed pattern or a custom bitmap as the transparency. Select either vector, bitmap, color, or texture mode. Choose a pattern and adjust scale, angle, opacity, etc.
-
Adjust Settings: Depending on the transparency type you selected, adjust the settings on the Property Bar to fine-tune the effect. You can modify parameters like the transparency percentage, gradient direction, midpoint, edge blend, pattern type, and more.
-
Apply: CorelDraw will apply the changes you made interactively so you can see them in real time.
In addition to the basic transparency types, you can also use blend modes in conjunction with transparency to create more complex effects. Blend modes control how the transparent object interacts with the objects behind it. You can access blend modes from the Transparency tool's Property Bar.
