Properties Visibility Tab

The Visibility tab contains four separate group sections:


Visibility

Opacity mask

Background removal

Pre-rendering


Designer_Properties_Visibility



Visibility


In the visibility group you can set the opacity of the image on the Page design. This can be used to create ghosting images. For example, as shown in the screenshot, see the differences in the images shown below:


Visibility_No_Opacity

Visibility_Opacity_50

No Opacity

Opacity 50%


Besides setting the opacity for the image, you can also select the visibility of the image as well the printability. Each drop down menu offers three selections:


Visible

Hidden

Collapsed


Opacity Mask


With the Opacity mask you can do some great and advanced stuff. For example, we have created an opacity mask using the gradient tool and the background color orange.


Visibility_Opacity_Mask_Properties


Now take a look at the photo images below. On the left you have the original and on the right the photo with the opacity mask.        


Visibility_No_Opacity

Visibility_Opacity_Mask_Photo

No Opacity

Using Opacity Mask


But you can also load images or use solid colors.


Background Removal


PriceCardPro® offers advanced background removal. Use the sliders to define the correct removal. You can also enter the values directly into the text boxes right from each color slider. For example, we removed the background based on the slider configuration below.


Visibility_Background_Removal_Properties


Now take a look at the photo images below. On the left you have the original and on the right the photo with the background removed.


Visibility_Background_Removal_Original

Visibility_Background_Removal_Removed

No Removal

Background Removed


It is important to realize that the result of the background removal depends on the quality of the image and the used background. Always try to use real blue or green backgrounds when taking photos as this offers the best removal result.


Pre-rendering


When using Pre-rendering of background objects, you can check individual objects to set them to be pre-rendered.

By default certain objects are already checked, but for other objects you can also check them if required.
