 '''Description'''<br />
 The Effects tab contains settings related to transparency and translucency.

 '''Key tolerance:''' This controls how many shades of colour similar to the '''Transparency key''' colour are used to generate opacity.

-'''Invert alpha/transparency:''' Check this to invert the alpha/opacity/transparency for the image. This will change opaque areas to transparent and vice versa.

-'''Use alpha/transparency for direct blending:''' If this is checked the alpha channel of the image or generated transparency is used to blend the image with underlying surfaces. If this is not checked then transparency acts a bit like a cookie cutter which puts a hole in the underlying surfaces, preventing them from rendering at all. However when this is checked the image is blended with the underlying surfaces instead of cutting them away, so the colours of the underlying surfaces show through. Here are some example renders:

 '''Translucent:''' Check this to enable translucency. The slider to the right controls the amount of translucency. Translucency gives an effect of light filtering through a surface. As an example, you might use translucency on a leaf texture to simulate light passing through it. It's not the same thing as opacity/transparency. Translucency is explained in more detail [[Translucency|here]].
