In this tutorial you’ll learn how to use the Transparency tool to apply different types of transparencies and how to adjust the settings to create unique effects. Using the sample exercise file we will demonstrate how to apply Uniform, Fountain and 3 different Pattern transparencies; how to adjust the level of opacity; and how to modify the appearance using merge modes and transparency styles. Once you get familiar with the Transparency tool, there is no limit to the different effects and looks you can create.
