I used the brush tool to quickly draw that shadow.Īs you can see the layer in the middle is showing a "Multiply" of 100% in Illustrator. The shadow is just a color mixture of CMYK where K is 100% and a tiny bit of Cyan, Magenta and Yellow to make the black a bit more lively. Bottom layer is the original product shot Middle layer is a shadow drawn by mouse.Ĭ. Screenshot 1: PSD with three layers placed in Illustratorī. Let me go on with my workaround using Adobe Illustrator. I appreciate that this may be more of a poor workflow issue than an InDesign 'fault', but I'm curious as to whether anyone has any similar experience / advice. When I place this file in InDesign there appears to be no way of 'multiplying' the layer over the nice brown artwork I have for the page and the awful white fringe remains.ĭid I assume too much? I figured that applying layer attributes would be common throughout Adobe's software. When I remove the base layer in PSD (a temporary brown page graphic) the previously water-colored layers have an awful white fringe. I can change this to Multiply no problem. What I would like to do is create some artwork in Corel Painter (for its beautiful watercoloring), export to Photoshop and then place the PSD in to the page in InDesign.Įxporting from Painter translates the 'gel' layer to 'darken' in PS. My copy overlays this beautifully but I'm struggling to place the artwork. My current project is a children's book that contains a master background with the appearance of an old Victorian journal. I'm new to InDesign but not Adobe and would like to ask about best practices for layering images that contain transparency.
