• You cannot blend between an open
path and a closed path. Both paths must
be either open or closed.
• You cannot blend compound paths.
• If you blend between one object
painted with a process color and
another object painted with a custom
color, the blended shapes are painted
with an appropriate process color. If you
blend between two different custom
colors, process colors are used to paint
the intermediate steps. If, however, you
blend between tints of the same custom
color, the steps are all painted with
percentages of the custom color.
Note: If you are preparing artwork
containing blends for separations, you
can use tints to minimize the number
of separations needed. To generate a
custom-color blend between a custom
color and white, use a 0% tint of the
custom color instead of process white.
• You can blend between two patterned
objects if they are filled with the same
pattern.
