2.6.12. Adjusting ink opacity

In this example, the student is drawing on their layer called: layer1. The layer is currently visible and public. The Overlays window shows the background opacity is 0 (clear) and the ink opacity is 60.

The student is drawing a red triangle over the instructor's lecture slide, and wants to make their drawing appear more solid.

Figure 32: The instructor's slide with the student's public layer overlaid.

The student goes to the Ink Opacity slider and double-clicks on the > mark on the right side. This brings the opacity up to 100.

Note how the background opacity is set to 0 and the ink opacity is set to 100. This is like drawing on a clear plastic sheet, like an overhead projector cell. The student's image appears much more solid:

ink opacity 100
