How to Color Inside Map Background White?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

They already are, as you'll see if you change the background to Transparent. (File menu - Document Setup - Colour tab). You have the document background set to white, which makes it hard to tell!

Cheers,

H

I'd like to have outside the map's border transparent and the inside of the map border white with the green text. How do I do that?

Select the curve that is the outline of the map and fill it with white, is this what you are aiming for?

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

The ink pot catchlights have been moved out of place...

...they are all of the white objects in the layers panel, you can group them and with snapping enabled move them back into place, it would also be a good idea once the catchlights are back in place to group them with the green ink pot shape, like this.

It always helps to group and rename the layers so you can easily read the file if you have to open it at a later date.

Old Bruce; That's exactly what I'm trying to do. I selected the curve that is the outline of the map and filled it with white. Thanks so much for your help.

firsdefence; Thanks for noticing that the catchlights are out of place. I'll fix them as you suggest. Cheers!
