Autocad aerial photo editing

[xaviervillaume]

Hello

I inserted an aerial photo (taken on google earth) on autocad as a raster image and when I make a print you can't see the drawing behind it.

The photo is in a separate layer which is placed in the background,  the other layers have the small print of unchecked.

Is there a possibility to make the photo paler for which one comes out less vivid?

Thank you for your answers

PropertyManager Sketch Image: Page 1

The first page of the Sketch Image PropertyManager controls the position, size, angle, orientation, aspect ratio, and transparency of the image.

• You insert the image with its origin (0, 0) confused with the sketch origin, an initial size of 1 pixel per mm, and with Constant Aspect Ratio enabled.
• Images are embedded in the document (not linked). If you change the original image, the sketch image is not updated.
• There is no snapping, inference, or auto-tracing functionality available when you sketch over the image. If the original image is moved or deleted and replaced, the sketch is not updated.
• If you hide the sketch, the image will also be hidden.
• You can insert sketch images into assemblies (but not into assembly sketches), when you edit a part in context.

Properties

	Original Position X	Enter a value for the X coordinate of the image origin.
	Original position Y	Enter a value for the Y coordinate of the image origin.
	Angle	Enter a value in degrees. A positive angle rotates the image counterclockwise.
	Width	Enter a value for the width of the image. If Constant Aspect Ratio is selected, the height is adjusted automatically.
	Height	Enter a value for the height of the image. If Constant Aspect Ratio is selected, the width is automatically adjusted.
	Consistent proportions	Select this option to maintain a constant aspect ratio between the width and height of the image.
	Reverse Horizontally	Click this option to change the orientation of the image horizontally inside its frame.
	Reverse Vertically	Click this option to change the orientation of the image vertically inside its frame.

The values in the Sketch Image PropertyManager are updated automatically when you change the size or position of the image in the graphics area.

Transparency

Select one of the following transparency types.

Full image	Allows you to make the whole image transparent. Transparency . Move the slider to adjust the amount of transparency. When the slider is set to 1, it indicates 100% transparency. Transparency 0 % : Transparency 50 % : 100 % transparency:
User-defined	Allows you to select a color from the image, set the tolerance level for that color, and apply a transparency level to the image.  Select a color from the image. Corresponding tolerance . Move the slider to adjust the degree for the selected color. When the slider is set to 0, transparency is applied only where the color exactly matches the selected color. As you move the cursor to the right, the corresponding tolerance increases (a lower degree of matching is required); Transparency is therefore applied to other tones of the selected color.  0.20  1.00  Selected color  100 %
