Using psp5, you could either make your image and adjust your gamma
correction, through Colors/Adjust, and get the transparency desired, or
you could opt to make a transparent layer by doing the following:

Make sure you have your "layer palette" visible first, by choosing
View/Toolbars, and checking the Layer Palette box. Then, right click on
that "background" box (in the layer palette) and choose Promote to
Layer. Use the slider bar to make your transparency on the image. After
you have your desired transparency, choose Layers/Merge/Merge All
(flatten).
