Hello,
I am trying to create transparent text, by following these instuctions (that I found on the forum here):
* Create an image frame and give it an image.
* Draw a rectangle over the image.
* Change the fill colour of the rectangle to White with 60% Opacity and line colour to None.
* Create a text frame over the rectangle.
* Add your text as necessary.
* With the text selected, choose menu "Item -> Convert To -> Outlines".
* Then select the text again.
* Then choose menu "Item -> Ungroup".
* Then choose menu "Item -> Combine Polygons".
* Then select both, first the rectangle, then the text, e.g. with the pressed shift key while clicking on the items and choose "Item -> Path Tools -> Path Operations".
* Press the "Subtracts" button (second from left), swap items if necessary to get the correct effect, and OK the dialog.
However, when I get to "* Then choose menu "Item -> Ungroup" I find that that the 'ungroup' option is not available to click on.
Could anyong kindly tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you!
This is where I found the original instructions:
