Mix Creates new objects where selected objects overlap, similar to the Divide option. However, Canvas fills overlapping areas with a new color (the original colors must be solid). To determine the new color, Canvas compares the CMYK values of all the overlapping objects and uses the highest value of each color. (If you are using RGB colors, Canvas first converts the colors to CMYK.) For exam- ple: Transparency Creates new objects where selected objects overlap, and fills overlapping areas with a new RGB color (the original colors must be solid). However, transparency lets you specify the level of transparency. When you select the Transparency option, enter a per- centage in the text box that appears; 100 percent is completely trans- parent, and zero is opaque. Note: If multiple overlapping objects are grouped, Canvas treats the group as a single object and doesn’t apply the transparency or mix effect within the group. Blending objects Using the Blend effect, you can create gradual transitions in shape, color, and stroke width between two or more objects. Canvas gener- ates a series of objects (from back-to-front through the stacking order) that appear to transform one object into another. Cyan Magenta Yellow Black Color 1 50 30 25 5 Color 2 25 40 20 0 New Color 50 40 25 5 Using the Transparency method, the artist created the illusion that you can see through the wine glass. Where the glass overlaps the wine bottle, you can faintly see the bottle’s label and shape.
