Thanks Chipp, I'll try this solution first.

Just wondering that a screenshot captures everything
in the rectangle, including parts of other objects
like fields, images or other graphics. 

Maybe coping the group in another stack, I can capture
only the image of the group of graphics. I'll look 
at your image compositing stack.

If this convertion can be done fast, then
I'll simulate the use of blendlevels on 
vector graphics.

Thanks again :))

Alejandro
