Bitmap mode 1 bit lineart/binary I images are treated as having white as transparent, with the black accepting colour fill in Illustrator or InDesign.

If the image is contone 8/16 bits, then as suggested blend modes such as multiply or darken would make white transparent.

I would experiment with diferent blend modes and opacity levels.

I am not really understanding your question, but my biggest issue is that your screen shots are way too small to make sense of. If possible can you show us MUCH larger images, and mabe have another go at describing what you would like to achieve?

Thanks
