FM12 Transparent Graphics

[De Rosier, Edward]

Hello Framers,

We are using FM 12 (TCS 5) on Windows 7 PCs.

The company has a new document style that includes a background image, which is a bit like having a watermark on the cover page.  In modifying the design of our templates, we have placed the background image on the master page.

When we add a product image to the body page, the white background of the product image masks a portion of the background image.   We have tried images (referenced from a common image folder) of the following types:  Adobe Illustrator (*.ai), Adobe Photoshop (*.psd), *.png, and *.eps.

Even though we have carefully created knocked
out images with transparent backgrounds, we have not been able to avoid the masking effect.

We would appreciate any ideas.

Thank you,
