Here’s a simple and quick guide on how to change blending mode in Adobe InDesign:
- To use and change the blending mode in InDesign, create a colored shape and place another colored shape over it so they overlap.
- Once added, go to the top menu and click 'Object.'
- Select 'Effects' → 'Transparency' to open the Effects panel.
- Once open, under Blending Mode, choose your desired mode and adjust the opacity to your preference.
- Click 'Preview' to review your work, and once satisfied, click 'OK' to apply the changes.
- Observe the area where the two shapes overlap—the new color created indicates the blending mode was successfully applied.
