| Choose Window > Inspectors > Modes to display the Modes Inspector.
The Modes Inspector provides five options that affect the appearance of text and graphics on the screen.
You can also double-click the Pointer tool in the toolbox to open the Modes Inspector.

If you choose the Opaque option, the image completely covers the background. The Matted option is similar to Opaque, except that white areas around the outside of the image are transparent. The Transparent option makes all white areas of the image transparent. If you choose Inverse, any colored areas in the image are displayed in the color that is the inverse of the background color beneath them. If you choose Erase, the image shows the background color in place of all colored areas. |
