Dave and Bob, Many thanks. I tried changing the black in PS, but that had no effect - still 2 blacks in the printed doc. BUT, your method, Dave, does seem to work. It will take some minimal futsing arond in PS to make the images bright enough (this method darkens them considerably) but this way does seem to achieve the effect I was looking for. Here's a puzzler, though: if I use your way on the frame for the page (I have a black background for the design) then all is well. I just have to draw the gradient with the gradient tool to do it. BUT, if I use your way with a separate frame for the image and put that on top of the frame for the page (does that make sense? One background black-fill frame for the page and another frame with gradient applied for the image)then I get 2 different blacks. Can you explain this? Why I get 2 blacks w/ID black as a fill on the bottom frame and as the end of a gradient in the top frame? I think I can proceed w/o and answer, but I would love to know . . .
