Martigny Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Hi all, The attached file shows a recurring problem, which is: I was tracing over an image and so set the opacity low so that I could see what I was tracing over. When I had finished, I removed the opacity on the slider so that it was 100%, but nothing happened, the opacity remained. Copying and pasting to the same and a new document did not work, neither did opening it on another machine - both Windows and Mac. There is no gradient or transparency set, all opacity sliders are set to 100% and no matter what colour I select, going from transparent to deepest black, the opacity remains. The only solution was to retrace at 100%, which I did. Any ideas?

Gear maker Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Martigny, likewise I do the same for tracing a lot of items and have never run into this. I don't see any cause for this in the drawing but I do see the transparency issue. I tried creating other shapes in your drawing using the same technique and they came out fine. I also found that doing a Paste Style from one of these layers caused the new layer to have the same issue. I did find that doing a Paste Style from a non-affected layer to the affected layer fixed the issue. Easier than redrawing maybe. Sorry maybe someone else will have better luck.

Thank you Joachim ... not sure how that happened or while the opacity can be set from the effects panel. All sorted now though.
