multiply images not working in indesign when publishing to web

Hi,


No matter what I do, I can not get multiply image to work when publishing it to web. It looks fine in indesign, I then publish and it comes out normal.

 

I have followed instructions from another post saying to go: object - export options - rasterise, but this doesnt work either.

 

Any suggestions?

Correct answer Eugene Tyson

What happens if you remove the Transparency Effect and change the Attibutes of the fill to Overprint?

Found a way to solve this yet?

Literally every object, image, gradient, color does not multiply when exporting to web.

Pretty sure most browsers support all these blending modes...

I am getting mixed results. I test-published the same document after making some new animations, and the effect was lost. The right side shows the blending mode published, left side shows later version opaque. I'm still troubleshooting to figure out why. So clearly, publishing online supports the blending mode (Multiply) shown below.

Most blend modes are not supported in HTML.

There are plenty of ways to handle this but if you just showed up to complain about reality, I hope you feel better.

"object - export options - rasterise." That's not the way – do you mean Publish Online?
