I'd like to place some plain photos rotated (say 12°) and with a blurred shadow above some colored elements, i.e. the shadow must use transparency. I guess I could get such using ImageMagick, but is there a possibility using ConTeXt or one of its favourite friends?
I'd prefer a solution that works with CMYK data.

Creating a semi-transparent backdrop with metapost is quite simple,

Yes, of course. Since I only need to output on a color laser printer, it will probably work.
Processing time matters.
