All of that is as should be expected. changing the opacity is what is letting the colors fade between what is behind it.
I tried a number of effects and imports and they all acted correctly.
So what did you want to happen? Try the same image at 100 opacity and import it then set the ink to blend it will or should be close to what it looked like when in PS 50%.
If you need a png to be translucent then blend it in REV. If you need it to have an invisible cut out then do it in PS. if you need special inks I think that png might not be the way to go.
The real problem I think is that most of the inks seem to work a little different than I remember in SC. What gives?

Ken,
I haven't had time to really dig deep but I would not apply any inks to
the image. I just brought a png file that was made in PS with no
background(checkerboard) into REV put it over a bunch of text and
images and perfect translucency.
Is that what you wanted? if not please explain.
If it is, send me the image and I will see. I do have a pretty heavy background in image manipulation.----------- Try this in a stack (on a Mac):
1) Make a field with med-large black letters. Say 24 pt. Chicago.
2) Import a shaded image (not too dark)...anything EXCEPT PNG or GIF. JPEG
is fine.
3) Inspector for the graphic, in inks properties, on the Mac side (below the
All Platform stuff), turn it into adMin.
4) Run it over the text. See? It doesn't change much. You can read the text
right through it, totally black, but its colors are good (on a white field).
5) Take the same image to PS and make a translucent image out of it (no
background), say 50% opacity (is there another way?), Save for Web, 24 bit
PNG.
6) Import that to the same stack, and try it out.
See, the colors are washed out from degrading the opacity, and it greys out
the text under it.
What say ye?
TIA, Ken N.
