Changing the transparency of objects | 323
You can modify pattern transparencies to suit your needs. Bitmap patterns created in Patterns, an iOS application that turns photos into
bitmap patterns, can be opened in CorelDRAW. The bitmap pattern effects available in both Patterns and CorelDRAW let you create seamless
patterns and adjust the pattern parameters, such as the pixel configuration along the edge of the tile and the brightness, luminance, and
