Dimming placed EPS images
The Dim Placed Images option in the
Layer Options dialog box makes placed
EPS images on a given layer appear
dimmed on-screen. This option screens
back placed images to make it easier to
edit objects on top of the placed image.
You can use this option as a design tool
with placed images, for laying out art-
work on top of them, or using them as
a template you can trace over. For infor-
mation about tracing over a dimmed
placed image, see
Tracing over an EPS or
TIFF image .

In the Layers palette, choose the layer
that contains the placed EPS image you
want to dim.
2
Choose Layer Options from the Layers
palette pop-up menu, or double-click
the layer’s name.

Select the Dim Placed Images option;
then click OK.
