Reply To: Flattening Transparent Frames

Hi Coleen! Thanks for sticking with this discussion.
On the JPEG (or PNG) export… that’s because it’s being pushed into RGB, of course. However, you can still make the two methods (20% tint & 20% opacity) match by turning on the Simulate Overprint checkbox in the Export PNG or Export JPEG dialog box.

Whenever you’re pushing colors to an RGB space, I recommend using the Simulate Overprint — it exists in the Print and Export PDF dialog boxes, too.
