Transparency Options - Canon Studio Solution User Manual

Tutorial: Border Workshop
Using the grayscale effect object, you can create an image such as the one shown
above. The large photo is Photo1 and the small photos are Photo2 and Photo3. The
effect object is layered under the small photos in the layer stack, but on top of the large
photo so only the large photo has the effect. The layer the effect is on is very important.
In this example, if the effect were on top of all other layers, all photos would be
grayscale. To add an effect, click ―add effect‖ on the toolbar. The Effect Object
window appears. Select the effect you want to use.

Transparency Options

Select the transparency option. If you do not want any special transparency effect,
select None. If you want to create effects where a section is masked off so the effect is
not applied, select Pre-defined Mask, and select a mask you want to apply.
You can create your own masks if you want a transparent shape that is not available in
the pre-defined masks. For example, you might want to create a color mat effect with
a cut-out as in the example below.
