Re: Gradients with transparency?

Thanks for all the responses. I really wanted to use a graphic rather than importing an image for all the reasons that Scott mentioned. Mark’s method works of adding an alpha value to the ramp settings of the fillgradient property of the graphic works perfectly so there is a (relatively) simple

Re: Gradients with transparency?

The thing about using a graphic gradient (as opposed to an image) is the graphic is infinitely more flexible: - variable size (no loss of quality when resizing) - variable colors - variable transparency As far as exporting goes, last I checked, I don’t think ink effects export intact, even when

Gradients with transparency?

Is it possible to have a gradient with one of its end-points being transparent instead of a solid colour? I want to overlay a graphic with a vertical gradient that blends from transparent to white to give the effect that the underlying content is fading out as you move down the screen. I’m
