Operation Manual

166 Colour, Fills, and Transparency
When multiple objects are grouped, the group can be given a composite
blend mode, which complements any blend mode applied to objects
prior to being grouped. The composite blend is applied to the group
after objects have been blended.
To apply a composite blend mode:
1. Select a group.
2. From the Group context toolbar, select a blend mode from the
drop-down list.
Blend modes applied to overlapping objects may produce unwanted
blending on underlying objects; the blending between overlapping
objects within the group might be all that is required. This can be
overcome by using isolated blending.
To apply isolated blending:
1. Select the grouped object containing blending.
2. From the context toolbar, enable Isolated Blending.
For a complete list of blend modes, with supporting examples, please see
the topic Understanding blend modes in PagePlus help.
