One way to work around this problem is to ensure that the image the
field is in front of does not have either a 1-bit mask or an alpha-
mask. If an image has either of these, the part of the stack within
its bounds will be rasterized first and then printed - resulting in
everything above also being rasterized causing the 'ugly shadow' you
have observed.
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
