Step 1: Open CorelDraw

Step 4: Choose the Type of Transparency
There are different types of transparency available in CorelDraw that you can apply:
Uniform Transparency: In this CorelDraw applies a consistent level of transparency across the entire object.
Fountain Transparency: This creates a gradient effect in CorelDraw, where the transparency varies from one point to another.

Opacity: Adjust the level of transparency. A higher opacity means less transparent and vice versa.
