Arizona Xpert has default recipes installed. Job designs created with Arizona Xpert enable you to re-use complex designs for similar jobs. This eliminates possible mistakes, reprints and waste.
This workflow uses the recipe [Day/night switch].
Create a [Day/night switch] application when you want your image to be displayed differently during the day and at night, when illuminated from behind. A [Day/night switch] application is printed on the side of the media that is going to be illuminated at night.
Select [Window] -> [Extensions] ->Arizona Xpert
When you use the recipes in Adobe Photoshop the design assets are defined as group, and the design assets in Adobe Illustrator are defined as layer.
For the [Day/night switch] recipe two layers/groups must be present in your design.
Day image
A colour image for daylight view
Night mask
An image to selectively block the back light
