CE_Designer_Properties_Visibility

 

The Visibility tab contains three separate group sections:

 

Visibility

Opacity mask

Background removal

 

Visibility

 

In the visibility group you can set the opacity of the image on the Page design. This can be used to create ghosting images. For example, as shown in the screenshot, see the differences in the images shown below:

 

Visibility_No_Opacity

Visibility_Opacity_50

No Opacity

Opacity 50%

 

Besides setting the opacity for the image, you can also select the visibility of the image as well the printability. Each drop down menu offers three selections:

 

Visible

Hidden

Collapsed

 

Opacity Mask

 

With the Opacity mask you can do some great and advanced stuff. For example, we have created an opacity mask using the gradient tool and the background color orange.

 

Visibility_Opacity_Mask_Properties

 

Now take a look at the photo images below. On the left you have the original and on the right the photo with the opacity mask.        

 

Visibility_No_Opacity

Visibility_Opacity_Mask_Photo

No Opacity

Using Opacity Mask

 

But you can also load images or use solid colors.

 

Background Removal

 

CardExchange® Producer offers advanced background removal. Use the sliders to define the correct removal. You can also enter the values directly into the text boxes right from each color slider. For example, we removed the background based on the slider configuration below.

 

Visibility_Background_Removal_Properties

 

Now take a look at the photo images below. On the left you have the original and on the right the photo with the background removed.

 

Visibility_Background_Removal_Original

Visibility_Background_Removal_Removed

No Removal

Background Removed

 

It is important to realize that the result of the background removal depends on the quality of the image and the used background. Always try to use real blue or green backgrounds when taking photos as this offers the best removal result.
