What is the v15 equivalent to "darken" in transparency tool?

Just wondering, looks like they removed "darken" from our options . I had used this extensively in previous versions. What is the best "option" for this? Color Burn does not act the same. Thanks!

you can put the old transparencies back by editing the registry - change [modify] ShowLegacyTransparencyTypes to value 1

Messing about with the new 'adobe-compatible' types is more trouble than it's worth imo




PS - make sure the program is closed when you do this

I use lighten darken and hue a lot, in fact it is one of the reasons I stick with xara at all, because it does exactly what I need to do, in clone steps as necessary

If I want to do 'adobe-style editing', well... I use photoshop

Well darn it. I changed the equivalent for the non pro version but it looks like it is not affecting it... Any ideas?

did you make sure that the program was closed when you made the changes in regedit?

That is brilliant, thanks for it

- one of the nice things Phil and the guys at Xara did to help those of us who still required the old transparencies - I think they should be in the UI, like the option to revert to 'classic' key shortcuts... I think that of a lot of registry fixes, eg killing the totally inane [if you are not building websites / using photos] message about your image import beimg better converted to a jpeg... don't see it happening anytime soon though

edit - yes there is a turn off info popups, but that is all or nothing.. turn them all off you then have no option but to turn them all on again how useful is that? ...
