Make an image transparent

I will be using the biezer tool to trace an image that I imported as a bitmap. I want to make this image transparent so I can trace easier. How do I do that?

  • One way to do it is.......

    • In addition to Mike´s tip:

      Lock object for tracing over it. With this you are free to work on without risk of unwanted clicks on reference object.

      Once done, unlock object and delete it. I've been using this method for years and I suppose it´s the easier way to get nice results.

      Another tip: have ever you tried to use "Power Trace"? (sure, it depends on quality and complexity of your original).

       

    • Hello Cmiller; For tracing I wouldn't use a transparent image to trace. What I would do is to Lock the image to the desk top, then select the Biezer tool and make the line color something that contrasts to the raster image, and start tracing.
