Thanks a lot for all of that! I'm having trouble getting it to run,
though. I tried copy/pasting it into the Context Live site but get
I wrote now a module for this, you can download it from here:

[NTG-context] blurred shadow on images?
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. If there isn't - is the transparency of PNG usable? Since all of the pictures will have almost the same size, I could probably also use the shadow as a single PDF picture and place that behind with a small offset. Greetlings from Lake Constance!

[NTG-context] \writetolist fails in footnotes when interaction is on
\setupinteraction[state=start,color=,contrastcolor=,option=fit]

Is there a way around this?

Creating a semi-transparent backdrop with metapost is quite simple,
but I am not sure whether that works with cmyk, you'll have to try
yourself. Code goes something like this:
\startuniqueMPgraphic{texthole}
for dx = 0 upto 40:
dy := dx;
wa := 10 + dx;
wb := \overlaywidth - dx - 10;
ha := dy + 10;
hb := \overlayheight - dy - 10;
fill (wa,ha)--(wb,ha)--(wb,hb)--(wa,hb)--cycle
withcolor transparent("normal", .04,white);
endfor;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
If there isn't - is the transparency of PNG usable?
Sure, and may use less resources than mp drawings, but that is
definitely RGB
Best wishes,
Taco
