Changing the transparency of objects
When you apply a transparency to an object, you make the objects beneath it partially visible. You can apply transparencies by using the
same kind of fills you apply to objects; that is, uniform, fountain, texture, and pattern. For more information about these fills, see “Filling
objects” on page 301.
Examples of different types of transparencies, including uniform, fountain, and pattern.
CorelDRAW also lets you specify how the color of the transparent object combines with the color of the object beneath it by using merge
modes.
This section contains the following topics:

• “Applying merge modes” (page 326)
Applying uniform transparency
Uniform transparency alters the transparency values of all pixels in the object or editable area by an equal amount.
