EDITING
Using the Transparent Option
The Transparent property is available only for black and white images.
There are two colors of pixels in an image: black and white. If the image is Transparent, the 
white pixels are not displayed. This allows you to overlay images and display only the black 
pixels (the content) of the image, without the edges.
To change an image to 
Transparent using the 
Image Editor, select 
[Options: 
Transparent Mode
].
To change an image to 
Transparent in the 
DSM main application 
window:
Select the image in the 
Page View window or 
in the Document 
Structure window.

Edit Mode in 
DSM:
Many of the functions 
available in edit mode 
are also enabled in the 
DSM Image Editor.
The advantage of using 
edit mode instead of the 
Image Editor is that you 
remain in the DSM 
application window.
