Canvas 12 User Guide
If a transparent paint object overlaps other paint objects, Canvas rasterizes all the objects at
the same resolution as the paint object that has the highest resolution.
If a vector object is transparent or is behind a transparent object, Canvas rasterizes the
vector object at the resolution specified for printing. You can set the resolution for printing
in the Output Settings manager in the Configuration Center (see "Setting preferences" on
page 97).
To set the output resolution of an object:
1. Select the object whose resolution you want to specify.
2. Choose Object | SpriteLayers | Output Resolution to open the Output Resolution dialog box.
3. Do one of the following:
Select the Maximum Resolution check box to specify that the object should be rendered at
the maximum resolution of the output device.
Deselect the Maximum Resolution check box and enter the resolution you want Canvas to
use. You can set the resolution from 1 to 2,540 dpi.
4. Click OK.
To set the maximum output resolution:
You can specify a maximum resolution for Canvas output. The resolution you specify in the Output
Settings manager affects output of all objects and rasterizing of transparency effects. This setting
overrides settings you apply to objects with the Output Resolution command (see "Setting
preferences" on page 97).
