Ken, I think what you probably need to do is to add a "clipping path." I
haven't used PSDs in FrameMaker-- I've always saved graphics as EPS--
but transparency was never honored for me without a clipping path.

A question about an image technique that I've never been able to master but it
seems everybody else has -- dropping out a white background. I've been assigned
with producing a company newsletter formerly done in Word. And though I do use
Word when I have to, I'm 22 years into FrameMaker and -- other than this --
it's usually so damn easy to do these things in Frame.
The original newsletter (in Word) has a colorful banner with lettering across top of the
first page. I can copy the main graphic element (a stylized color bar with a curved lower
edge, similar to the Nike "swoosh") from the Word file and paste it onto the
top of page 1 of the new Frame file, but I need to delete a white area from the lower
portion of that graphic (easier shown than described; contact me off-list and we can do a
share-screen Zoom thing so I can show you what I mean).
I used Adobe Photoshop CS4 to "apparently" successfully delete that white
portion from that jpg file; the formerly white area of the original image is now the
familiar grey checkerboard. I saved that modified image as a psd file.
But when I imported the new (psd) image to partly overlay another graphic
element on the first page of the FrameMaker 10 version of the newsletter, the
imported graphic still has that white area which overlays the other graphic
element. Which is what I don't want.
What didn't I do or what am I doing wrong? Whatever was done in Word should
more easily be done in Frame, or so I thought.
Help please?
