The buttons use a pattern so they are not transparent.
Yes, we are very familiar with the drop shadow technique also...
Yes, we could use field + group methods, but I would prefer to keep is simple
so that I can dynamically swap out the background patterns and, eventually,

BR uses or wants to use button labels.
Where then do you apply this effect? To a button label?

I like that idea. You can do the same thing in one go by applying a shadow
graphic effect to text in a transparent field.

A good suggestion. You can achieve the same effect in LC without
duplicate objects by adding a dropshadow effect to the text that has a
size of 0, an angle of 45, and a distance of 2 or 3 (maybe higher,
depending on the size of the text).

BR,

you do estimate the luminance of a 120x175 = 21000 px region
on base of the evaluation of ONE single deterministic pixel?
Accepted, of course, but then it may be better, from a

but *any* randomly chosen pixel of that region.

BR,
I now saw, late -- sorry, that you are using button's showName, that is, the
text colour has to be adjusted, not the pattern.
Then using a text field instead of 'showName' and setting the field's ink to
"notSrcAndReverse" should do what you want (incl. nice effects).

Hi BR (thanks for the abbreviation),
First you have to decide in detail what you want.
1. What is an average for you?
Usual arithmetic mean is one option, other simple ones are a weighted mean of
rgb (used by Photoshop etc.) or median values.
2. How to use the alphavalues?
Max, min, median, weig

I want to import images as patterns for buttons. This always works as they are
