Hi Gilles, I can confirm exactly the problem you describe. I tried experimenting with various workarounds including ISL. But unfortunately, none of my attempts were satisfactory. The best advice I can offer is to use a tool like the GIMP to create the background color of your image to your liking and then geolocate it in the IDV. I just tried this solution and it seems to work, see attached. Maybe someone knows better than me, but that's what I have.
