Try export PSD to PDF and insert by reference (always, always by reference!). Alternately, depending on the logo, transparent GIF (i.e., spot color logo) or even TIFF (gradients). Transparency support has always been finicky in FM, and even more so once FM went all DITA. WORST case, accept the suck and use a matching background color whenever you overlay anything other than white, even if it means multiple variants of the referenced image files.

I'm using FM 10.0 (which I own), Adobe Acrobat Pro Version 9.0 (which I also own) and Adobe PhotoShop CS4 Version 11.0 (again, which I also own).I'm trying to paste a png file (it's the logo for an organization) with transparent background into a frame (front cover the the organizations's journal) with a certain color (the exact color is irrelevant for this discussion). I've opened the png file in Photoshop to confirm the background is transparent (checkbox pattern displays).But the background of the png image file always displays as a white box once it's in place in the frame on the cover of the journal.I've tried importing the png graphic by reference, by "Copy into document" and even by doing a direct paste via Ctrl-V but with the same results every time (white background in the boxed graphic).Help please? I'm glad to work with someone off-list and send them the files to experiment with.-- Ken in Atlanta_______________________________________________This message is from the Framers mailing listSend messages to [email protected] the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.comArchives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.comSend administrative questions to [email protected] _______________________________________________
