Changing the levels in elliptical transparency

After applying elliptical transparency you can change the transparency levels of the center and outside of the ellipse.

To change the levels in elliptical transparency

1. Select the transparent object (see Selecting objects).

2. Choose the Transparency Tool.

3. Click on either the center transparency handle or one of the outer transparency handles to select it.

4. Move the Transparency Slider on the Transparency Tool Infobar. Or for precise control, type into the text box to the right.

Tips

The center handle sets the transparency at the center of the ellipse, the outer handles sets the transparency at the edge.

If none of the handles is selected, moving the slider applies a flat transparency to the object.

If you have several objects selected, you can select all fill handles of a particular type (for example all the center handles) by CTRL+Shift-clicking on one of the handles. Use Shift-click to deselect a handle or select an unselected handle.
