Hello, I'm a newcomer to Scribus and I'm having a problem with opacity. I've created a document which has two layers. The lower layer contains a picture and the upper layer contains black text. I've set the opacity of the picture's fill color (white) to 30%. My goal is to have solid black text on top of subtle background image.
This all looks fine in the Scribus document window, but when I export to PDF (and view with xpdf), or print to a PostScript file (and view with gv), or even use the Print Preview, the background image appears at 100% opacity. Is it possible to generate a PDF or PS file that shows the image the way it looks in the document window? Or, am I approaching this all wrong? Should I instead use gimp to first produce a low-contrast version of the image and not bother with the opacity setting in Scribus? I'm using Scribus version 1.2.2.1 with Qt 3.3.4 on NetBSD 2.0.2. Thanks for any help, --Bill
