Service Area Map

[HarvMan]

I need to publish a map to identify the areas that my business services. I have a map image, but how can I create a transparent circle on the map to denote the service area?

Thanks!

My suggestion would be to create a new layer ( :AddNewLayer: ), and then draw the circle (hold shift to keep it a perfect circle) on that layer. Change the layer's transparency to make it translucent. :-)

Does this help?

Use the ellipse-selection tool to select a circle, and press "Delete".

@Simon: I don't think that's what he meant. I think he wants the image to remain intact, he just wants to add a translucent circle denoting the area of service.

Like this:

Although, myself, I think I'd prefer it more like this:

In the colours window, click "more" and change the transparency.

Yes, but that makes a lot of work if he wants to change it layer. I suggest adding a layer.

Thanks David and Simon, that worked just fine!
