You may find that you want to make portions of your photo board image transparent for a more realistic effect. If the image is of a person, for example, you may want to make the background in the image transparent so that when you insert the photo board in your drawing, you see just the person in your 3D view. Example
To create transparency in your photo board image, you need to use a graphic editing program such as Microsoft® Paint to apply a magenta color to those portions you want to make transparent. Example
The RGB color settings for magenta are as follows:
Red: 255
Green: 0
Blue: 255
Once you have finished editing the image in the graphic editing program, you can re-import the image into Design Suite Deluxe using the Photo Board Wizard.
