I am trying to layer my logo but the fill in the box is getting in the way. I have tried "No Fill" but still have a white background. Anyone know how to do this?

if your logo is an imported image (a .jpg file for instance), you can use the Photo Knockout feature and remove the white background. Import the logo, right click and choose Properties > Fill. Move the transparency bar until the white has been erased. When part of the image is also white, use a polygon or close bezier shape behind the image to fill in the white color.
Watch the mini-clip for the how-to:

One of the designers I mentioned, color expert Maria Killam, is hosting a free webinar on that very subject next Friday, May 24 at 11 AM Pacific (12 Noon Mountain, 1 PM Central, or 2 PM Eastern)!

You know I was going through my Studio program tonight thinking about making a new brochure. What I thought was missing from my window treatments was modern window treatments and modern hardware. I found a great hardware company with fantastic finals and rods and would love to be able to incorporate some of them into my treatments. Just a thought.

Shades and valance in the same family as the wall color (hard to tell in the dark photo) with an inset banding in blue or green would be a good choice for a tailored treatment. Doing TDBU Romans to comply with the new shade safety standards will take a bit of engineering in the fabrication. You could also do shutters painted to match the woodwork.

Thanks Merlyn, No fabric has been chosen.Privacy is an issue because windows are ground level and you can see the golf course. They were thinking about covering the bottom one's with top down bottom up. shades. A valance across the top would work. Colors are sage green sectional, dark hardwoods with a large blue, green and creamy yellow floral needlepoint rug. The wall color is light yellow with orange tint. Your help is appreciated...

What is the need - privacy, light control, just decorative or ?? I would probably suggest roman shades on the lower windows and door and a valance above all. Has a fabric been chosen?
