Transparency in layout graphics?

Featured Replies

Hello all,

I am not new to FM, but there is one thing I could never figure out: How do I create partly transparent graphics for my Layouts?

On the Mac, making one colour transparent (in GraphicsConverter) and then pasting the image to the layout seems to work, but when viewed on a Win PC the transparency is gone. However, there are sample databases (from the ISO CD, for example) that contain lots of partly-transparent graphics? Have all these been created using the "native" FM layout tools? Surely not.

I tried search, google etc., but to no avail.

Grateful for any help.

Hi Lutz, and welcome to the Forums.

This topic comes up from time to time.

Do a search using this,

for both subject and body, Exactly as you see it, and you will find several threads on the subject.

If you cannot get it to work, bear in mind that FMP 7.0v3 currently has a bug when handling transparent graphics under certain circumstances.

Lee, Vaughn,

thanks for the hints! Got it now- the main trick was not to copy and paste... and to accept the bug in 7.0 v3 (for now).
