I've created a logo in illustrator in which the strokes are a key element. Illustrator allows me to stroke my paths with a color, but not a transparency. I am wondering if anybody knows how to turn a stroke into an alpha channel.
Note: The stroke has a weight of 1pt. I can choose to give the stroke no color, but then the stroke is not visible in the logo, I need the stroke to become a window through which you can see the background, not just disappear.
The only solution I can think of is to trace the stroke with a new path and turn it into a compound path, but that's a LOT of work. Any suggestions, please?!
