With specific transparency, we can have layers that are transparent when they cross other layers, but are otherwise opaque. This way you can keep a client’s color palette accurate, or you can have layers that are selectively transparent so only certain layers below show through.

I also made a new intro and recorded a quick riff for it. Let me know what you think and I’ll see you guys next week.
