Making the first page into a separate section (by adding a Next Page section
break between it and page 2) will work. After turning off Same As Previous
in the Section 2 header, though, you need to click on the watermark in that
section and delete it (*not* by using the watermark dialog to remove it,
since that will also remove it from section 1).
If you insert the picture behind text but not in a header, you *do* have the
option of the washed-out look. Select the picture, which should display the
Picture toolbar (if not, choose it from View > Toolbars). Click the Color
button on the toolbar and choose Washout. You can fine-tune the effect by
using the Contrast and Brightness buttons on the same toolbar.

I just created a text box, made the text a lighter shade of gray and send the
text box into the background. Simple and worked well.
