The yellow tint seems to be coming from the Satin effect and is applied heaviest where the color of the image itself is white. As far as I can tell I can't apply a fill color to the image itself (because it actually IS transparent). This is the only one of the three images that is truly transparent acording to InDesign. It was saved from the photoshop file with the background layer turned off.

The PDF seems a little different, though. Again, ID does not consider this image to be transparent as long as the background layer is visible in the object layer options. If you turn off the background, the color disappears and cannot be reapplied. psd is depending on a white background layer, so in effect it is also not transparent though it has transparent layers. ID also does not seem to consider this to be a transparent image - removing the other images from the page and tuning off the effects turns off the page transparency icon. A truly transparent image will show the other object in those areas. Also, if you place this Tiff in front of other objects you'll see a white background in those areas with no color. If you save the same image preserving transparency it no longer accepts the fill color. I'm not sure the Tiff is genuinely transparent, though it has areas with no color. I wonder if he'd care to share with others what the technique is, because I'm sure I haven't uncovered all of it.
I've been studying Mikes files, and they are intriguing.
