Remove a color by making it transparent
 
 
 

Select a color then use the Erase Paper plug-in.

This feature is available in all Alias products.

How to make all areas containing a given color transparent

  1. Choose Utilities > Plug-in Manager and select the erasePaper plug-in in the Paint section (put a check mark in both columns).

    The Erase Paper tool plug-in is added to the Paint Edit palette.

  2. In the Canvas Layer Editor , select the canvas and layer you want to affect.
  3. Select the color you want to make transparent. (Choose a Brush tool to open up the color swatch in the upper left corner of the interface, which displays the default brush color.)

    The quickest and most accurate way to select a color is by using the eye dropper. Click the eye dropper then click the color you want on the canvas.

  4. Choose Paint Edit > Erase Paper

    The color is removed.

    Note

    In Design and Automotive, the image layer is duplicated before the color is removed. The new layer contains the original un-erased version, which you can access through the Canvas Layer Editor.

  5. Repeat the process for another color, or another layer, if needed.
