I'm trying to create a Clipping mask a la photoshop in indesign, but i seem to hit a wall. I was trying to use a bw-Png (actual file-gamut is rgb) with some transparency data as clipping mask using the punchout option under "effects".

Turning tranparency down to 0% grouping it with the part i wanna clip, and turning on Punch out. It Punches out the whole container giving no regards to its contents.

Is there a way to use the b-w image`s data to punch out a mask ?

This is a Photoshop-specific routine so why make things complicated? Do all you image processing in Photoshop, save as PSD and place this in InDesign as an external link.
