Maybe values > 1 should be allowed for opacity? For example:
#photo { opacity : 2; }
Would mean that the element, whose pixels have an "effective" opacity of
0.5 would have the "effective" opacity of its pixels doubled, to 1.0,
meaning they are rendered with double opacity, which is then halved by
the body element and appears thus just plain opaque to the viewer.
I don't know if this could be implemented as graphics libraries often
"clamp" the colour values to [0;1]...
