I'd like to place some plain photos rotated (say 12°) and with a blurred shadow above some colored elements, i.e. the shadow must use transparency. I guess I could get such using ImageMagick, but is there a possibility using ConTeXt or one of its favourite friends? I'd prefer a solution that works with CMYK data.
Creating a semi-transparent backdrop with metapost is quite simple, but I am not sure whether that works with cmyk, you'll have to try yourself. Code goes something like this:
Thank you, I'll try. Seems like I should learn MetaPost finally...
If there isn't - is the transparency of PNG usable?
Sure, and may use less resources than mp drawings, but that is definitely RGB
Yes, of course. Since I only need to output on a color laser printer, it will probably work. Processing time matters. Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)
