Vic -

You can use the TRANSPARENCY statement in 3.7 to lighten up the DRG (or other basemap images).  You'll find info about it in the 3.7 online docs.

Hi All.

Well, I did it. Our firm does hydrological consulting, and a lot of our 
work is here in Indiana. I have modified the GUI (it's in VB6) for the 
groundwater model that we use most to connect to a WMS, and then built a 
statewide map server (on Linux) with all sorts of useful stuff for 
basemaps. Woo Hoo! It's cool.

I have a problem, though. The DRG images are too darn bold -- the color 
intensity blots out a lot of what we draw on top or 'em when we're 
modeling. Is there a convenient way for me to reduce the intensity of 
the colors (that is, turn the brightness up) in mapserver? Or is there a 
way (e.g. with ImageMagick) to modify the DRG files?

THANKS! I love this stuff!
Vic Kelson
