In Photoshop you can use transparency gradients, or layer masks with black/white gradients...is there any way to do this in InDesign? (I'm trying to fade out a grey on black vector pattern background to straight black. Do I have to make the background as a flat 'placeable' file in PS first?)

Um, Multiply? -

Maybe I'm missing something...I barely understand blend modes.
