As I said in my previous mail: post-script does not know about 
alpha-transparency, so any raster image that is converted via PS is 
flattened. PDF can handle alpha-transparency, but TeXmacs does not 
support direct PDF export. When you export to PDF, TeXmacs actually 
writes to PS and calls ps2pdf internally, so all alpha transparency is 
flattened. Currently, there is no way to export from TeXmacs to PDF 
retaining transparency.
