Hi, I hope someone can help me out.

I have a design that is created in illustrator. It has an overlay effect on it, when I save the file as an SVG file, the overlay shows as white on my background whereas I need it to show as an overlay on any background that it is placed onto. How do I do this?

Thanks

Wanda

Please show.

Please do include the Appearance panel.

Please do also show the resulting SVG

Hi Monika

Herewith a screenshot of what I need to achieve.

The other screenshot is of the ai file with the appearance panel as requested.

The flower pattern is white inside a clipping mask, that sits behind the blue lines.

When I save this as a SVG file the pattern comes in white and not overlay when I place it in photoshop as a test.

Not all blend modes are supported in SVG.

Also: whenimporting an SVG, the importing app might ditch things.

Do you need the SVG in Photoshop, or what will be the final use?
