COLOR, OPACITY, AND DROP SHADOWS

292 | A Guide to QuarkXPress 2018

pplying color and shade to lines

hree methods are available to apply color and shade to lines:

se the Line tab of the Measurements palette. •

Use the Colors palette (Window > Colors).•

Apply color, shade, and line gap settings using the Style > Color and Style >•

Shade commands.

Applying transparency blend modes

Blending modes let you vary the ways that the colors of objects blend with the

colors of underlying objects. When you apply a blending mode to an object, the

effect of the blending mode is seen on objects that lie beneath the object’s layer or

group.

QuarkXPress 2018 supports both RGB and CMYK blending color spaces.



RGB is the default blending color space when a blend mode is applied to an object

or image,.

To switch to CMYK blending color space, go to View > Proof Output > Composite

CMYK.

The blending color space of the exported PDF depends on the OUTPUT color setup

selected in the Output dialog. To match the color results of the exported PDF with

the QuarkXPress layout, use the identical proﬁle in QuarkXPress soft prooﬁng and

PDF viewer rendering intent proﬁle

Choose None or Composite RGB to switch to an RGB blending color space.•

Choose Composite CMYK or Composite CMYK and Spot to switch to a CMYK•

blending color space.

Choose Grayscale or Grayscale 100K to switch to a Grayscale blending color•

space.

All the examples shown in this document are based on RGB blending color space

rendering. The rendering of these objects may be different in other applications

based on the simulation proﬁle used.

There are several ways to apply blend modes to boxes, borders, images, text and

lines:

Use the Colors palette (Window > Colors).•

Use the Image Editing palette (Window > Image Editing).•

Use the Home, Picture Box, Text and Border tabs of the Measurements palette.•

The following blend modes can be applied:

Normal: This will never change the color values of both top and bottom objects.•

This is the default mode.
