Bliiting half-brite?

Hi, I need to have a variety of brightnesses in my blits to implement
crude shadows. I take it SDL doesn’t have any way to aid this?

Am I better just precalculating the darker images and blitting that -
for speed - or is it possible a s/w blitter can do this fairly quickly?

Thanks,
