Re: What's this term?

[Emoto <emoto1 -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Frankly, if *we* don't know what to call it, the user of the document(?)
being written isn't going to have any idea, either, so use of the "proper"
term would be a forced vocabulary lesson detracting from the point the
writer is trying to make. I recommend writing around the issue so that the
name of the partially transparent image is unnecessary. Something along the
lines of:

"... as shown in the highlighted area of the illustration below."
