Remove a color by making it transparent
 
 
 

Select a color then use the Erase Paper plug-in.

This feature is available in all Alias products.

How to make all areas containing a given color transparent

  1. Choose Utilities > Plug-in Manager and select the erasePaper plug-in in the Paint section (put a check mark in both columns).

    The Erase Paper tool plug-in is added to the Paint Edit palette.

  2. In the Canvas Layer Editor, select the canvas and layer you want to affect.
  3. Select the color you want to make transparent. (Choose a Brush tool to open up the color swatch in the upper left corner of the interface, which displays the default brush color.)

    The quickest and most accurate way to select a color is by using the eye dropper. Click the eye dropper then click the color you want on the canvas.

  4. Choose Paint Edit > Erase Paper

    The color is removed.

    NoteIn Design and Automotive, the image layer is duplicated before the color is removed. The new layer contains the original un-erased version, which you can access through the Canvas Layer Editor.
  5. Repeat the process for another color, or another layer, if needed.
