Blending mode
Transparency
Select Isolate Blending to restrict 
blending modes so they affect 
only the selected group. 
Transfer Photoshop effects by dragging the fx 
icon in the panel to another object attribute or 
on top of another object on the page.
Click here to clear all 
transparency and 
Photoshop effects 
applied to an object.
You can apply effects 
independently to a 
group, an object, its 
stroke, its fill, or to the 
text in text frames.
You can easily apply 
multiple effects at once 
using the Effects dialog box.
Select an object with the Selection 
or Direct Selection tool and then 
choose a Photoshop effect from 
this menu, the panel menu, or the 
Object > Effects menu. 
Tips:
WORKING WITH TRANSPARENCY
•  Note that if you apply settings in the Effects dialog box without first selecting an
object, each object you draw subsequently will have those new settings applied.
•  To apply an effect to an image separately from its frame, first select it with the
Direct Selection tool. While you cannot apply transparency effects to text selected 
with the Type tool, you can convert the text to outlines (Type > Create Outlines) 
and then apply the effect with the Selection tool.
