Converting an image to a transparency

You can use the Convert to Alpha filter to convert an object or text into a transparency based upon the transparency of the image.

To apply the Convert to Alpha filter to a selected area, do one of the following:

• In the Property inspector, click the Add Live Filters button, and then select Other > Convert to Alpha from the Filters pop-up menu.
• Select Filters > Other > Convert to Alpha.

  NOTE

  Applying a filter from the Filters menu is destructive; that is, it cannot be undone except when Edit > Undo is an option. To maintain the ability to adjust, turn off, or remove this filter, apply it as a Live Filter, as described in the first bulleted option in this step. For more information, see Using Live Filters.
