The opacity property controls how opaque an element is, and it takes values between 0 and 1. So if you have an image that you want to be slightly transparent, all you need to do is determine how transparent you want it to be and apply a value between 0 (completely transparent) and 1 (completely opaque) using the opacity property, like this:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1869\" src=\"https:\/\/cssdeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screen-Shot-2016-07-05-at-10.24.58-AM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2016-07-05 at 10.24.58 AM\" width=\"320\" height=\"398\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"ig-sh-1\" class=\"syntax_hilite\">\r\n\r\n\t\t<div class=\"toolbar\">\r\n\r\n\t\t<div class=\"view-different-container\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" class=\"view-different\">&lt; View <span>plain text<\/span> &gt;<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t<div class=\"language-name\">css<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t<br clear=\"both\">\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\r\n\t<div class=\"code\">\r\n\t\t<ol class=\"css\" style=\"font-family:monospace\"><li style=\"font-weight: normal;vertical-align:top\"><div style=\"font: normal normal 1em\/1.2em monospace;margin:0;padding:0;background:none;vertical-align:top\">img<span style=\"color: #00AA00\">&#123;<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: normal;vertical-align:top\"><div style=\"font: normal normal 1em\/1.2em monospace;margin:0;padding:0;background:none;vertical-align:top\">opacity<span style=\"color: #00AA00\">:<\/span> .6<span style=\"color: #00AA00\">;<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: normal;vertical-align:top\"><div style=\"font: normal normal 1em\/1.2em monospace;margin:0;padding:0;background:none;vertical-align:top\"><span style=\"color: #00AA00\">&#125;<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ol>\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1870\" src=\"https:\/\/cssdeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screen-Shot-2016-07-05-at-10.25.15-AM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2016-07-05 at 10.25.15 AM\" width=\"320\" height=\"399\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As you can see, after the opacity is defined as .6, the image has become much more transparent. A common (and cool)\u00a0use for this property is when creating hover effects.
