Can an indicator's transperancy be controlled? Setting transperancy for color ramp

Hello,

  I wanted to know if there is a way to control the transperancy of an indicator?
  Here is what I am trying to do. I have a picture on the a VI and I want to highlight certain parts of the picture in various colors. I can do the change in color using something like color ramp. But, the problem with color ramps or any other instrument is that it will cover up the picture (in parts or completely). So, I wanted to know if there is an instrument where is we can set a transperancy level so that the coloring will show up as well as the picture won't be completely covered.
 Thanks.

Regards,

Amit

No LV object, as far as I know, can have alpha channel blending.

What you can do is load your picture into the picture control (using the picture control VI) and then manipulate the picture to create a semi transparent shape. I believe you can create a semi transparent shape by averaging the value of the shape and the image.
