No plugin, but alpha filters. Works only with ActiveX enabled.
And you have to use the images twice in two different layers. One for the
transparency channel and another one for the rest of the image.
Disadvantage: You won't get transparent backgrounds for text elements
without adding a third layer before the other two and giving them special
z-index values.
Reason: Each element inside the container with the background image (which
has to get 0% opacity) will get the same percentage as default. Thus you
can't set it back to 100% for the text, since 100% of 0% remains 0%.

Nope - AFAIK only for the frontend output.
