Profile
You can change the rate of change of transition between the start and end of transparencies. This applies
to all single stage graduated transparency types except three point and four point (where the option is not
available)
To change the profile of a transparency:
1.
Select the object.
2.
On the Transparency Tool InfoBar click Profile. This opens the Profile dialog.
3.
You either select a predefined profile from the dropdown list or drag the sliders to create a
custom profile. The top option in the dropdown list (the straight line) creates a linear transition
between the start and end of the transparency.
Bitmaps
Bitmap & Fill Galleries are described in Photo Handling and Fills
.
When you select a transparency type of Bitmap, a default bitmap is initially used. Click on Bitmap
Name in the transparency InfoBar, or use the Bitmap or Fill Galleries to change the bitmap used (click
the Transp
button in the gallery or drag-and-drop from the gallery).
By default, the lighter colors in a bitmap are the most transparent (you can, of course, alter the relative
amounts of transparency later).
Handle/resolution
If you have a handle selected, this box tells you what handle it is. With no handles selected, and when
using a bitmap transparency, it controls the DPI.
