Gradients with transparency?

[Richmond Mathewson]

Personally I'd fake it:

I'd set up a gradient with one end being transparent in my graphics 
weapon of choice (GIMP) and save it as a PNG image,
import it and overlay it on top of your content, then make sure you 
group it with your content before you do an

export from group "JazzyGradient" to file "JazzyGradient.png" as PNG

I’m able to achieve this effect using a black and white linear gradient in combination with the blendScreen ink but I need to be able to export the object (gradient plus underlying controls) as an image keeping the effect intact. When I export it now the ink effect is lost.
