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

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.

So that I can see if it's creating the effect I need, where should I be testing this?


I gather that you client does not have Illustrator but only Photoshop? their web master or who ever does their site should have both, I would think. Just curious as to the details of the transition of a file to a client. The old version of transition from one to another app use to be eps- have you tried that one?

 

Monika- you are the master here so please forgive my intrusion but curious as to the reasoning.
