Setting the Image Color Transparency

You can use image color transparency to specify that a color within an image is partially or entirely transparent. When you configure image transparency, you must:

• Enable color transparency for images.

• Specify the color that is to be transparent.

Setting the image color transparency is different than setting the transparency of the image element, as it only applies to one color. Image transparency applies to the entire image.

To enable image color transparency

1. Select the image element.

2. In the Properties Editor, select HasTransparentColor.

3. In the list, click True.

To set the transparency color for an image

4. Select the image element.

5. On the Edit menu, click Select Image Transparent Color. The pointer becomes a color picker.

6. Click the color you want to use as the transparency color. The image is updated with the new transparency color.

Note: You can also select a transparency color with the TransparentColor property in the Properties Editor. For more information about setting the color, see Setting a Solid Color.
