Transperency

Please can somebody help me on this one... I am using illustrator 10 and I was told I can now make some parts of it transperent. I'm not finding a way so can somebody please help me?


thx!

Wrong forum for this question. Plus its something that is mentioned a bit in the Illustrator manual. But I will answer it as I am bored right now.

Go up to "window" and open the "transparency" window from there.

You can adjust opacity from there.

If you want a gradual transparency effect....

Click the small option arrow on the transparency menu. Then select "make opacity mask". You will now see in the transparency box (as long as you show all the options), that there is now a black box next to your artwork. Click into the black box. Make some objects, and then make then use the gradient fill on them. Black and white will suffice here. Black removes opacity, white adds. A gradient fill will create a smooth transition from both.

Fool with the other options to get different effects.
