: How do I keep the same opacity level to a vector shape using pen tool I have been using the pen tool for more than 8 years already, but when I started using CS6, I have lots of difficulties

I have been using the pen tool for more than 8 years already, but when I started using CS6, I have lots of difficulties using the pen tool.

I use the pen tool for vector portraits and I need to use opacity 10 for every vector. But when I add another shape on top of it, it gets back to 100% opacity, so I have to change it to opacity 10 again. This has caused me to spend a lot of time on something else than trying to make my work quick and fast. Any ideas?

Click the menu button on the top left of the Appearance palette, then uncheck the option "New art has basic appearance" and boom! Problem solved! :D. This works on Illustrator CC, and I guess it is the same on CS6.

Hope this helps!

Make a group, give it low opacity and continue by creating your shape layers inside that group.

I'd use the same method in older PS versions as well.



Here's a picture where all the shape layers have 100% opacity and they are inside a group with 38% opacity that affects all the layers in it.
