Profiles

When adding a blend, transparency, contour, fill or shadow to an object, you can change the attributes or properties of the effect by using the Profile dialog box.

What the Profile dialog box actually allows you to do depends on which effect is being used, but in all cases, you can either choose one of the set profiles or use the sliders to create your own.

With transparency you can change the shape of the transition from start to end, while with blends and contours you can alter how the steps are spaced and how the colors, lines and transparencies are used.

Altogether, the Profile dialog box makes a very powerful tool to help get your graphics just right.
