In the past days I’ve spent some hours with Illus­tra­tor to create an over­view image of our rese­arch activi­ties. The result is now on our group home­page, I used opa­city masks exten­si­vely. What you basi­cally do is to draw a rec­tangle and apply a gra­di­ent fil­ling (eit­her linear or radial). You then move this rec­tangle over your image and select „Make Opa­city Mask” from the „Trans­pa­rency” tool­box, which is one of the sli­ders below the color swat­ches. The two objects are com­bi­ned and you get a nice trans­pa­rency gra­di­ent. I used linear gra­di­ents for blen­ding the sin­gle images and a radial gra­di­ent to create the over­all shape. One trick to over­lay mul­ti­ple linear gra­di­ents is to select ano­ther blen­ding mode. The „Nor­mal” blen­ding mode means that the object in front covers all other objects. Select „Mul­ti­ply” to over­lay mul­ti­ple masks (same „Trans­pa­rency” tool­box as used before).

This is an expor­ted ver­sion with some­what strange colors.
