I've setup a CorelDraw X6 document by inserting a background image. I'm using this bitmap to trace over. You can D/L the file HERE.
I added a layer over the top of this image to trace on (the background image will be deleted once I'm done).
My question is, how do I make my drawing layer semi-transparent, almost pure white, with just enough of the bitmap showing beneath to reference it?
Hello Ricegurg; It depends on how close the drawing has to be to a scale. ( It's a poor picture to work from.) What I would do is work in sections, locking down a section of the pic. and drawing over it with a lite color like white or yellow.
Good Luck, George
Ricegurg. I like that.
I could increase the resolution of the bitmap (the whole thing had to be stitched together from several screenies), but it wouldn't give me any benefit. It's actually a map from a video game editor, and you're looking at a top-down 3-D image. So stuff is layered (sewers under streets, etc). I only need it as a reference to keep track of where I'm at as I trace out lines, boxes, etc. Most of the background garbage is ignored.
