Get Your Photoshop On — Inside InDesign!
Buy this issue or subscribe to “InDesign Magazine”.
InDesign CS3’s Effects panel has all of CS2’s transparency features, plus a whole lot more. You can apply transparency effects to a stroke, a fill, text, or the entire object. You can even mix it up so that a single object’s stroke, fill, and/or text have different opacity settings and blend modes applied for each attribute. This fine-tuned control is not just for transparency: Adobe added nine more object effects to InDesign CS3.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to screen back a photo for readability, make a live text mask, and composite with a gradient feather. If you like what you see, be sure to go to the last page of the PDF for a special discount on an InDesign Magazine subscription.
