CSS background-image-opacity?

If the background doesn’t have to repeat, you can use the sprite technique (sliding-doors) where you put all the images with differing opacity into one (next to each other) and then just shift them around with background-position.

Or you could declare the same partially transparent background image more than once, if your target browser supports multiple backgrounds (Firefox 3.6+, Safari 1.0+, Chrome 1.3+, Opera 10.5+, Internet Explorer 9+). The opacity of those multiple images should add up, the more backgrounds you define.

This process of combining transparencies is called Alpha Blending and calculated as (thanks @IainFraser):

αᵣ = α₁ + α₂(1-α₁) where α ranges between 0 and 1.
