Hi! It's shadings and transparency again. For most things transparency is not required since the background colour (white) can be used instead, to achieve the same effect (thanks Hans for the reimplementation/cleanup a while ago). For one use case I worked around this by including an external file and overlay the external file (see attached example). Background: In the actual documents the transparent overlays overlay images to have the edges fade into the page background (only the centre is of interest). Is there a method that does not require an external file or pre-processing? Using the external file works. Just wondering if there's a better - more integrated - way. Marco
