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).

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. i guess that with some experimenting you can come close but the external file that you use uses masks (actually we do support masks in external
