[texhax] Transparency or reduced saturation using Graphicx ?

[Philip TAYLOR (Ret'd)]

Interestingly, Heiko's "transparent" package
is behaving differently depending as the image
is raster or outline : attached are two PDF
images, representing the same scribal notation,
one in raster format and one in vector.

Also attach is a screenshop of the result of
embedding these two images using :

	\hbox spread 1 pc {\transparent {0.4}\box 0 \transparent {1.0}\hss}

from which it will be seen that the counter of
0202 abr-ashmos-qrusos.pdf (raster) remains pure
white, whilst the counter of 0203 abr-ashmos-qrusos1.pdf
(vector) becomes grey during the transparency
process.

Heiko, are you able to cast any light on this
behaviour, and to say whether it might be possible
to make the two images more consistent after applying
transparency ?
