#PIXELMATOR PRO LAYER OPACITY PRO#
We're looking at the edge of the upper layer of imagery running across the middle of the image.Īs you can see, the imagery in Pro is much less distinct in the upper part of the image where the two layers of imagery are fused.Īn additional very significant issue that I see here is this: In both, the group layer has 50% transparency and is above a TOPO layer. My purpose here is only demonstrate the opacity issue in a simple manner.) (NOTE: I understand that in my example above you might want to see imagery through a parcel layer. Here, the parcels have incorrectly been made transparent, and do not obscure the imagery. This creates a muddy and unsatisfactory appearance where you can see through everything and see everything underneath.ĪrcGIS Pro: Here you can see a group layer with 75% transparency with parcels on top of imagery. You can see the lower layers in the group through the upper layers in the group. In ArcGIS Pro, when you make a group layer transparent, t he transparency setting of the group layer is applied to each of the layers in the group, so that you can see through all of the layers, individually. The parcels completely obscure the imagery. So, even though the group layer is transparent, within the group layer, if one layer is opaque and is above another layer, then its features will completely obscure the features of the lower layers in the group.ĪrcMap: Here you can see a group layer with 75% transparency with parcels on top of imagery. Then the transparency setting is applied to the resulting image. In ArcMap, when you make a group layer transparent, all of the layers in the group are drawn just as they would be, normally. Is there a switch to set group layer behavior to be like it is in ArcMap?
I haven't been able to find a setting in Pro to overcome this.
By default, group layer transparency in ArcGIS Pro does not behave like that of ArcMap and produces an unsatisfying result in which all of the layers are separately transparent and are visible through each other in a big, muddy, chaotic mess.
