Dan,

Thanks for the answer, but I may not have been clear on my question.  

-Ignore the re-sizing issue.
-I understand that if an image has transparency in it and it is flattened it
is OK.

However, is there a way to put a variable transparent object in front of a
variable image/picture, so the variable transparent object lightens the
variable image behind it?

Thanks, Jere

> Can Fusion Pro handle transparent variable images? 

The answer to this question is Yes.  FusionPro can use images with partial
transparencies if they've been "flattened" (which can be done in
Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat, and other tools).

This, however, is a completely separate issue.  The short answer here is No,
there isn't really a direct way to resize a graphic to match an area
"behind" variable text.  Have you tried the drop shadow capabilities in
FusionPro 5.x?  That might get you the effect you're looking for.
