The Process Manual

Creating a ghosted or gilclear effect 1. To create a gilclear or ghosted effect over a portion of an image, first use the Rectangle tool (or any shape tool) to draw a box over the area where you want to apply the effect. 2. Change the fill of the box using the Swatches palette (Window > Swatches). 3. With the box selected, use the slider in the Transparency palette (Window > Transparency) to bring down the opacity, until the gilclear effect you want is accomplished. Feathered edges Transparency also plays a big part in creating feathered edges. After applying a feather effect to text, a page element or an image, you can layer that element on a background or with another feathered item, and the feathered portion will blend. 1. To apply a feathered edge, select the element with the Selection tool. 2. Select Object > Feather. 3. In the Feather dialog, check the Feather box. 4. Enter the amount of feathering you want to apply. 5. Use the drop-down menu to select the corner effect you want to apply. 6. Click OK. Duotone effect Create a duotone effect by layering a transparent box on top of a black and white image. 1. Place your black and white image on the page by going to File > Place. 2. Use the Rectangle tool to draw a box of the same size on top of your image. 3. Using the Swatches palette (Window > Swatches), change the fill color of the box you drew to a Walsworth Formula Color (if this is a four-color page). See the Using Color section for more information about loading Formula swatches into your Swatches palette. 4. Use the Transparency palette (Window > Transparency ) to change the opacity of the box to get the look you want. Colorizing black and white photos You can colorize a black and white image by drawing shapes over portions of your image and then filling them with transparent color. 1. Use the Pen tool or any other tool to draw a closed path around the area of the image you wish to colorize by clicking around the shape to add points. It helps to zoom in on the area you are drawing, to make your shape as accurate as possible.
