Stamp opacity

Post by cyraxote »

Is it possible to set a default opacity for a stamp (or for a palette of stamps)? I have created my own stamps, but having to reset the opacity for each one every time I use it kind of defeats the time savings of using the stamp.

Thanks.

Hi cyraxote,

Easy fix for you:

1. Place a stamp
2. Right-click it and select Properties
3. In Appearance set desired opacity
4. Bottom Left, Click Advanced->Set Current Appearance as Default.

That sets all stamps to default opacity.

Regards,
Chris

That I understand. What I meant was is it possible to have, for example, for each stamp on a palette, a separate and different opacity setting?

Hello cyraxote,

I am afraid that you can not change the initial opacity for a stamp when it is already created in the viewer.
What you can try is to create the stamps from images with a certain opacity.

You can also always copy and paste the stamp with the changed opacity, and the new stamp will have the correct reduced opacity.

Best,
Stefan

One other possibility - create a blank page, place the stamp over it, set the desired opacity and save the file.

Than create a new stamp from this page. But please note that you will be not able to change/remove the opacity in such stamps, just add additional opacity.
