The application provides a collection of fountain transparencies that you can access. You can browse the available transparencies, search by keyword, mark transparencies as favorites, and sort them. You can also download additional fill packs, which can be used as transparencies. For more information, see Find and view fills and transparencies.

You can create a fountain transparency by adding and removing nodes, and specifying a transparency value for each node. You can also reverse, mirror, resize, or skew a fountain transparency, or apply other transformations.

After you create a fountain transparency, you can save it for future use or share. For more information, see Save fills and transparencies.
