Yes. In addition to the PSD transparency not being handled as expected, a
solid white rectangle is present underneath the image.

Hello,
Thanks to all who responded to my query. It definitely helped me forward the
responses to the person who created the inhouse style guide which included
terms rarely found in any of the style guides. Inhouse style guides are fine
when all follow the rules. In this case each writer follow

FM, in general, doesn't support transparency very well.
In FM, do you have the properties of the graphic and of the frame that
holds it set so that Fill = None?
P.S. posting your configuration data with each question would be helpful...

The graphics need to be .EPS as well in my experience of doing this.
