1062 Chapter 12 Using Shapes and Masks
Creating Holes and Transparency in Shapes
There are several ways you can create holes and transparency within shapes. You can
use the Opacity, Blend Mode, and Preserve Opacity parameters in the Properties tab to
modify a shape’s overall transparency.
For more information on using object blending parameters, see “ Blend Modes ” on
page 285.
You can also use one or more masks to punch holes inside shapes using the mask
drawing tools. You can also apply image masks to a shape, which allow you to use any
object to define transparency. For more information on using masks and image masks,
see “
Masking Layers to Create Transparency ” on page 1087.
